"That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great."
"The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or woman."

Followers who tell the truth and leaders who listen to it are an unbeatable combination."
"Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one has not time to write down."

"You can observe a lot just by watching."
