“To write music is to raise a ladder without a wall to lean it against. There is no scaffolding: the building under construction is held in balance only by the miracle of a kind of internal logic, an innate sense of proportion.” WritingKindBuildingWallBalanceMusic IsLogicMiracleRaisesProportionInternalsConstructionLaddersInnateScaffoldingUnder Construction Author:Arthur Honegger
“The only good thing about religion is the music. Because nature is filled with balances and opposites, there are always exceptions to the overall rules, whether the overall rules are bleak or otherwise. If you propound a joyous theory of existence, I will find an exception to that. If I propound a bleak theory, someone will find a joyous exception. That's just nature being nature, I think, and I don't think it offers a lot of hope. It's sort of a respite along the way.” IfsThinkingWayExistenceTheoryBalanceOffersMusic IsOppositesFilledGood ThingsExceptionJoyousBleakRespite Author:George Carlin
“It's hard to start and think about having balance. Music is a tough industry, and you have to work your way to that luxury.” ThinkingBalanceMusic IsTough Author:Yukimi Nagano
