Music is the language of the soul.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
【译文】 孔子说:“早上理解真理,晚上死也值得。”
There are no mistakes in art, only unexpected discoveries.
志士仁人所器重景仰的,是名声、功业、道德、情操;凡夫俗子所追求炫耀的,是服装、饰物、住宅、生活。
