    Igor Stravinsky (1970). “Poetics of Music in the Form of Six Lessons”, p.34, Harvard University Press

  • If my sinfulness appears to me to be in any way smaller or less detestable in comparison with the sins of others, I am still not recognizing my sinfulness at all. ... How can I possibly serve another person in unfeigned humility if I seriously regard his sinfulness as worse than my own?
