I Do Not Think A Day Passes

For The Past Eighty Years I Have Started Each Day In The Same Manner... I Go To The Piano, And I Play Preludes And Fugues Of Bach... It Is A Sort Of Benediction On The House.

Don’t Be Vain Because You Happen To Have Talent. You Are Not Responsible For That; It Was Not Of Your Doing. What You Do With Your Talent Is What Matters.

Do We Dare Be Ourselves? That Is The Question That Counts.

I Do Not Think A Day Passes In My Life In Which I Fail To Look With Fresh Amazement At The Miracle Of Nature.

Music Must Serve A Purpose; It Must Be A Part Of Something Larger Than Itself, A Part Of Humanity.
