	"You compose because you want to somehow summarize in some permanent form your most basic feelings about being alive, to set down ... some sort of permanent statement about the way it feels to live now, today." - -- Aaron copland

Top 5 quotes from Aaron copland

"The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, "Is there a meaning to music?" My answer would be, "Yes." And "Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?" My answer to that would be, "No.""
"Ages built a city, an hour is enough to destroy it"
"Don't ever let him near a microphone."
"So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning."
"There is something about music that keeps its distance even at the moment that it engulfs us. It is at the same time outside and away from us and inside and part of us. In one sense it dwarfs us, and in another we master it. We are led on and on, and yet in some strange way we never lose control."
