Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part. – Claude Debussy
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory. – Claude Debussy
I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. – Claude Debussy
How much has to be explored and discarded before reaching the naked flesh of feeling. – Claude Debussy
If theres no fire, theres no scream. If theres no scream, then no one hears you and no one comes to help you in the first place. The depth of my struggle has definitely determined the height of my success. To be able to teach my kids not just about success but about the struggle that comes with it. – R. Kelly
