“My belief is that all political activity directed towards changing the means of working, is ineffective without a change in our way of working, and that this is essentially personal. If we change our way of doing things, structural change necessarily follows. If we wish for this personal change we need discipline, and the only effective discipline is self-discipline.”
”But music is a very considerable friend to us at awkward moments.”
