There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres.

Compare Russell and Einstein, two leading figures, roughly the same generation. They agreed on the grave dangers facing humanity, but chose different ways to respond. Einstein responded by living a very comfortable life in Princeton and dedicating himself to research that he loved, taking a few moments for an occasional oracular statement. Russell responded by leading demonstrations and getting himself dragged off by the cops, writing extensively on the problems of the day, organizing war crimes trials, etc. The result? Russell was and is reviled and condemned, Einstein is admired as a saint. Should that surprise us? Not at all.

To compare Bach with Beethoven is like comparing an oak tree to a lion.

I think that a characteristic of modern literature is this uneasiness regarding human existence which has been superimposed on a desire for new human relationships. That is to say, there is an uneasiness as to whether the quest for new relationships is meaningful or whether human relationships are worth seeking out at all...Thus we communicate the theme that we are unable to communicate with each other. We terminate our communication. And that’s self-contradictory.

You Are A Marvel Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again... And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: "Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michaelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work - we must all work - to make the world worthy of its children.

Haydn hatte einst den Einfall, viele Musiker zu einer Nachtmusik, auf eine bestimmte Stunde einzuladen. Die Zusammenkunft war im tiefen Graben; da selbst mussten sich Musiker vor mehreren Häusern, und in Winkeln verteilen; sogar auf der hohen Brücke befand sich ein Paukenschläger. Die meisten Spieler wussten nicht, warum sie da waren; und jeder hatte den Auftrag erhalten, zu spielen, was immer er wolle. Kaum hatte dies schreckliche Konzert angefangen, als die erstaunten Bewohner des tiefen Grabens die Fenster öffneten, und über die verdammte Höllenmusik zu schimpfen, zu zischen, und zu pfeifen anfingen. Indessen hatten sich auch die Wächter, oder, wie sie damals genannt wurden, die Rumorknechte genähert. Die Spieler entwischten noch zu rechter Zeit, bis auf den Pauker und einen Violinisten, die beide in Arrest geführt wurden; denen man aber, da sie den Rädelsführer nicht zu nennen wussten, nach einigen Tagen die Freiheit wieder gab.
