The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If a composer suffers from loss of sleep and his sleeplessness induces him to turn out masterpieces, what a profitable loss it is!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
