Strange, I Feel As If Up To

I Haven't A Single Friend; I Must Live Alone. But Well I Know That God Is Nearer To Me Than To The Others Of My Art; I Associate With Him Without Fear, I Have Always Recognized And Understood Him, And I Have No Fear For My Music,-it Can Meet No Evil Fate. Those Who Understand It Must Become Free From All The Miseries That The Others Drag With Them.

No Friend Have I. I Must Live By Myself Alone; But I Know Well That God Is Nearer To Me Than Others In My Art, So I Will Walk Fearlessly With Him.

Music Is The Mediator Between The Life Of The Senses And The Life Of The Spirit.

Art Demands Of Us That We Shall Not Stand Still.

It Is The Power Of Music To Carry One Directly Into The Mental State Of The Composer.
