There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of 'culture.'
Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
