When we love a woman we don’t start measuring her limbs."― Pablo Picasso "A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind."― Eugene Ionesco "Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis.
