I meet you. i remember you. who are you? you’re destroying me. you’re good for me. how could i know this city was tailor-made for love? how could i know you fit my body like a glove? i like you. how unlikely. i like you. how slow all of a sudden. how sweet. you cannot know. you’re destroying me. you’re good for me. you’re destroying me. you’re good for me. i have time. please, devour me. deform me to the point of ugliness. why not you? why not you in this city and in this night, so like other cities and other nights you can hardly tell the difference? i beg of you.

If you do not have a loving concern for the environment... it will no longer sustain you - you will not be worthy of it. you will not be destroying the planet, you see. you will not be destroying the birds, or the flowers, or the grain, or the animals... they will be destroying you.

So far as i can see, the atomic bomb has deadened the finest feeling that has sustained for ages. there used to be so-called laws of war, which made it tolerable. now we know the truth. war knows no law except that of might. the atomic bomb brought an empty victory but it resulted for the time being in destroying the soul of japan. what has happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early to see.

Instead of thinking in terms of chords, i think of voice-leading; that is, melody line and bass line, and where the bass line goes. if you do that, you'll have the right chord. [these voices] will give you some alternatives, and you can play those different alternatives to hear which one suits your ear. keep the bass line moving so you don't stay in one spot: if you have an interesting bass line and you roll it against the melody, the chords are going to come out right.

The straight line is godless and immoral. the straight line is not a creative line, it is a duplicating line, an imitating line.

Creativity is a yearning for immortality
Creativity Immortality Yearning
In the belly of the furnace of creativity is a sexual fire; the flames twine about each other in fear and delight. the same sort of coiling, at a cooler, slower pace, is what the life of this planet looks like. the enormous spirals of typhoons, the twists and turns of mountain ranges and gorges, the waves and the deep ocean currents - a dragonlike writhing.

The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.

The power of nature is what all art strives to be. the more we can get in tune with the harmony of the planet, the more our art can benefit from that relationship.
