nothing has changed … no longer do my lips kiss—they prophesize … my double goes to the interrogation*

* Anna Akhmatova (23 June 1889 - 5 March 1966)

I bring you with reverent hands the books of my numberless dreams *

William Butler Yeats (13 June 1865 - 28 January 1939)

Summit or death, either way, I win.

For me, music is always the language which permits one to converse with the Beyond.

As a respite from your musical studies, read a lot of poetry. Take lots of walks in the fresh air. … Never miss an opportunity to hear good opera.*

* Robert Schumann (8 June 1810 – 29 July 1856)
