" "On this piano, ‘vibrations of extraneous origin’ arise from different ‘shocks,’ ‘noises,’ ‘rustlings,’ and for the most part from what are called ‘aerial momentum vibrations,’ which are generally formed in atmospheric space from the natural vibrations already present there.

Additional quotes by George Gurdjieff
"Every man comes into the world like a clean sheet of paper, and then the people and circumstances around him begin vying with each other to dirty this sheet and cover it with writing... Gradually the sheet is dirtied, and the dirtier with so-called "knowledge" the sheet becomes, the cleverer the man is considered to be... And the dirty sheet itself, seeing that people consider its "dirt" as merit, considers it valuable."
