It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
I don't believe anybody can really grasp everything that's even in one textbook.
When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
