I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.
To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.
After my mom died there was so much written about her fashion and her style and all that and I felt that one of the most important parts of her was missing her real intellectual curiosity.
The greater intellect one has the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.
Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.
