I like the way Mahler wandered about in his music and still retained his passion. He must have looked like an earthquake walking down the street.

Understand me. I’m not like an ordinary world. I have my madness, I live in another dimension and I do not have time for things that have no soul.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
