"'All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves'. Opposites which are in every reality—a leaf, a person, physics itself—such as oneness and manyness, motion and rest are in the music of every region. The opposites make for beauty—for isn't every good song, for example a unity with rich diversity?"
