Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.

Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.

After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
