2. LAO TZU
“The snow goose need not bathe to
make itself white. Neither need you
do anything but be yourself.”

3. CLAUDIO ABBADO
“I love the sound of snow…. You can hear it even if you are only
standing on a balcony. [The sound] is only minimal, not even a real noise:
a breath, a trifle of a sound. You have the same thing in music: if in the
score there is a pianissimo marked that ends in nothing. Up there you can
feel this „nothing.‟ With an orchestra it is very difficult to achieve it. The
Berlin Philharmonic manage it sometimes.”

4. ANTOINETTE VAN KLEEFF
“When snow falls,
nature listens.”

5. MARY OLIVER
“Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”
