Whatever may be my activity in a given moment (whether I am composing, or whether I am making love .. .), I feel pleasure if there is an obstacle placed in my path but one not greater than my ability to overcome. If circumstances paralyze my energy, I suffer. From this point of view, pleasure and pain accompany every moment of our life, even if we try to disregard them.Alexander Scriabin
