The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.

The real art of conducting consists in transitions.

The writer interweaves a story with his own doubts, questions, and values. That is art.

Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.

Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
