At 7:40 there is the key: “Find the true essential feeling. I want your music to rouse the fragment of the infinite that sleeps in their stomachs.”

“Fara Bach, Dumnezeu ar fi un personaj de mâna a treia. Bach e singurul lucru care-ti da impresia ca universul nu e ratat”. – Emil Cioran

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great. ” – Mark Twain
