“The idea of attention or contemplation, of looking carefully at something and holding it before the mind, may be conveyed early on in childhood. 'Look, listen, isn't that nice?' Also, 'Don't touch!' This is moral training as well as preparation for a pleasurable life. It need not depend on words, but can also be learnt from patterns of behaviour which should in any case back up the words. The far reaching idea of respect is included in such teaching. The, as it might seem, sophisticated concept of a work of art may be acquired easily. Children, if they are lucky, are invited to attend to pictures or objects, or listen quietly to music or stories or verses, and readily understand in what spirit they are to treat these apparently dissimilar things. They may also be encouraged to contemplate works of nature, which are unlike works of art, yet also like them in being 'beautiful.”

“[...] quando lui morì non ti rimase quasi nulla. I vostri figli andarono via di casa, tranne le due minori e una del suo precedente matrimonio. Ti rimanevano soltanto le sue partiture, ma preferisti mendicare e vivere in povertà piuttosto che vendere anche solo uno di quei fogli. Era non solo la sua musica, ma il vostro stesso dialogo amoroso: non avresti mai potuto vendere l'anima.”

“None of us has an obligation to accept the definitions of ‘respect’ and ‘gratitude’ our parents espoused, especially when those definitions can be used to guilt-trip us, or when they are being used for the purpose of forcing us to do certain things (as an extortion mechanism).”
