“Most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God.”
“There is a strange kind of human being in whom there is an eternal struggle between body and soul, animal and god, for dominance. In all great men this mixture is striking, and in none more so than in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.”
