Summary

This quote suggests that the greatest composers in history did not simply create music from scratch, but rather they were heavily influenced by the works of others. It emphasizes the idea that these composers were like "thieves" who shamelessly borrowed and incorporated ideas from various sources, be it other composers, different genres, or musical traditions. It highlights how originality does not always mean starting from a blank slate, but rather building upon existing ideas to create something new and innovative.

Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.
