And the newer guys are really obligated in a lot ways to do the same thing all of us have had to do in this music which is to learn the sort of language of it and then have something to talk about, have something to say. What's different now is that there is a lot more fluency, there is a lot more people who can kind of deal with the language. But in fact, it turns out there is not that many people who have got a story to tell, who kind of got a way of bringing something to life in the music that is something important to them. And that's really what I look for more than anything. However, I do need a very high degree of fluency, because of the kind of music that I do, which is quite complicated harmonically, it has to be somebody who really has a deep understanding of harmony and then also has the kind of understanding of harmony where they can sort of forget the harmony too.

437. “I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.
