    Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony.

Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.

    Beatrice Gottlieb, U.S. historian. The Family in the Western World from the Black Death to the Industrial Age, ch. 12, Oxford University Press (1993)

    You must never throw away things that are worth good money.
    Abraham Polonsky, U.S. screenwriter, Frank Butler, and Helen Deutsch. Mitchell Leisen. Lydia (Marlene Dietrich)

    A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.
