To My Eyes And Ears The Organ

As Death, When We Come To Consider It Closely, Is The True Goal Of Our Existence . . .

Music, In Even The Most Terrible Situations, Must Never Offend The Ear But Always Remain A Source Of Pleasure.

When I Am Traveling In A Carriage, Or Walking After A Good Meal, Or During The Night When I Cannot Sleep; It Is On Such Occasions That Ideas Flow Best And Most Abundantly.

Creativity Is The Firing Of My Soul.

Patience And Tranquility Of Mind Contribute More To Cure Our Distempers As The Whole Art Of Medicine
