More From Vanessa Mae

A computer is like a violin. you can imagine a novice trying first a phonograph and then a violin. the latter, he says, sounds terrible. that is the argument we have heard from our humanists and most of our computer scientists. computer programs are good, they say, for particular purposes, but they aren’t flexible. neither is a violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it.

The marriage tie becomes possessed of a history and takes to itself traditions. this history and these traditions form a great fund, to which changing conditions and growing imagination constantly add. and the traditions, more especially, bear heavily upon the individual, overmastering his natural expression of the love instinct and forcing him to an artificial expression of that love instinct. he loves, not as his savage forbears loved, but as his group loves.

The separation of church and state is extremely important to any of us who holds to the original traditions of our nation. . . . to change these traditions . . . would be harmful to our whole attitude of tolerance in the religious area. if we look at situations which have arisen in the past in europe and other world areas, i think we will see the reason why it is wise to hold to our early traditions.
Wise Religious Attitude
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

Of course my books are translated into many languages. i have here, in my home, translations on my shelf of my books into forty-five different languages. almost none of them i can read. i can read only the english editions. but, i know that a translation of a work of literature is like playing a violin concerto on the piano. you can do this. you can do this very successfully on one strict condition: never try to force the piano to produce the sounds of the violin. this will be grotesque. so, different musical instruments provide for different music.
