Schoenberg, who pretended to a certain omniscience, once said to me in his trembling husky voice, ‘I can see through walls.’
— Oscar Levant, from his hugely entertaining (but very sad) memoir The Memoirs of an Amnesiac, (Hollywood: Samuel French, 1965), p. 130. This has nothing to do with Villa-Lobos, except that he could see through walls as well.
