"When we listen to a work of art, we do not contemplate or enjoy ourselves, we restore a broken balance, we affirm what we shamefully denied all day long; the full reality of our acts, of our hope, of our freedom, the obscure certainty that existence has a meaning, an air, a guarantor.

When we listen to a work of art, we do not contemplate or enjoy ourselves, we restore a broken balance, we affirm what we shamefully denied all day long; the full reality of our acts, of our hope, of our freedom, the obscure certainty that existence has a meaning, an air, a guarantor.
""Când ascultăm o operă de artă, nu contemplăm și nici nu ne desfătăm, redresăm un echilibru, frânt, afirmăm ceea ce am negat rușinos cât e ziua de lungă; deplina realitate a actelor noastre, a speranței, a libertății noastre, certitudinea obscură că existența are un sens, un aer, un garant."
