"I am God."
"My 10th Sonata is a sonata of insects. Insects are born from the sun... they are the sun's kisses."
"Scriabin always said that everything in his later compositions was strictly according to 'law.' He said that he could prove this fact. However, everything seemed to conspire against his giving a demonstration. One day he invited Taneyev and me to his apartment so he could explain his theories of composition. We arrived and he dilly-dallied for a long time. Finally, he said he had a headache and would explain it all another day. That 'another day' never came."
-Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin (1872-1915)
