I feel painting is like music, it plays to the emotions.

The final test of a painting, theirs, mine, any other, is: does the painter's emotions come across?

The painter turns a poem into a painting; the musician sets a picture to music.

I inherited a painting and a violin which turned out to be a Rembrandt and a Stradivarius. Unfortunately, Rembrandt made lousy violins and Stradivarius was a terrible painter.

On the one hand it is said that the aim and object of music is to excite emotions, i.e., pleasurable emotions; on the other hand, the emotions are said to be the subject matter which musical works are intended to illustrate. Both propositions are alike in this, that one is as false as the other.

If we helped change their lives for the better, it'll be with them forever.
