No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale.

For the perfect accomplishment of any art, you must get this feeling of the eternal present into your bones - for it is the secret of proper timing. No rush. No dawdle.

Hurrying and delaying are alike ways of trying to resist the present.
