Olivier Messiaen
Olivier Messiaen, Quatuor pour la fin du temps - Louange à l’Éternité de Jésus
“The free intellect copies human life, but it considers this life to be something good and seems to be quite satisfied with it. That immense framework and planking of concepts to which the needy man clings his whole life long in order to preserve himself is nothing but a scaffolding and toy for the most audacious feats of the liberated intellect. And when it smashes this framework to pieces, throws it into confusion, and puts it back together in an ironic fashion, pairing the most alien things and separating the closest, it is demonstrating that it has no need of these makeshifts of indigence and that it will now be guided by intuitions rather than by concepts.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche, “On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense”. Fragment, 1873: from the Nachlass
