Only the man endowed with special sensitivity can become the coldest and the most firm. He is forced to hide under a hard shell... But this shell often becomes a burden to him. I need loud, vivid sounds. It is said that Napoleon, who was a tyrant, loved fine music, and I, probably because I am not a tyrant, love lively, joyful, loud music. Man always tends to be what he really is not.

Romanian

"Numai omul înzestrat cu o sensibilitate deosebită poate deveni cel mai rece și cel mai ferm. El este nevoit să se ascundă sub o carapace dură... Dar această carapace îi devine de multe ori povară. Am nevoie de sunete puternice, vii. Se spune că Napoleon, care a fost un tiran, iubea muzica fină, iar eu, probabil pentru că nu sunt tiran, iubesc muzica vie, veselă, zgomotoasă. Omul tinde mereu să fie ceea ce nu este cu adevărat."
