Ludwig van Beethoven

Music comes to me more readily than words.

Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

Bacchus hath drowned more men than Neptune.

Once I started working with generative music in the 1970s, I was flirting with ideas of making a kind of endless music - not like a record that you'd put on, which would play for a while and finish.

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
