“After all, if we stop to think, the stars have been fleeing from us from the very beginning. Every night they're further away, though they give the impression of being in the same place.
But we shouldn't feel lonely as a result.
No. Not at all.
As long as there's a fire there will be a story waiting to be told. And then we'll open our mouths wide and swallow all that we can of the night.
And, for the first time, the same song will begin.”
Luis Sagasti, Bellas artes

“All those who could ran for their lives. The snow buried the organ of Himmelheim. And it buried the little town of Himmelheim.”
Luis Sagasti, A Musical Offering

“Those colours spilling out over the frozen night sky mapped out, perhaps in its entirety, one of the greatest compositions of the twentieth century: the Quartet for the End of Time. ‘I’ve seen a mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in cloud, with a rainbow round his head. His face was like the sun, his feet like pillars of fire.’ These are the lines from the Book of Revelations that Messiaen used as an epigraph for the score of the Quartet.”
Luis Sagasti, A Musical Offering
