Jean de la Bruyere

All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.

Two quite opposite qualities equally bias our minds - habits and novelty.

The wise person often shuns society for fear of being bored.

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.
