According to my principles, every master has his true and certain value. Praise and criticism cannot change any of that. Only the work itself praises and criticizes the master, and therefore I leave to everyone his own value.

  • -- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach 卡尔·菲利普·埃马努埃尔·巴赫

根据我的原则,每一位大师都有他真实而确定的价值。表扬和批评都不能改变这一点。只有作品本身赞扬和批评大师,所以我把他自己的价值留给每个人。
