You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that.
I am resolved to rise superior to every obstacle. With whom need I be afraid of measuring my strength? I will take Fate by the throat. It shall not overcome me. O how beautiful it is to be alive - would that I could live a thousand times!
There is no greater pleasure for me than to practice and exhibit my art.
Mistakes - mistakes - you yourself are a unique mistake!
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Art always demands of us something new.
Good Morning, on July 7 My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved I can only live wholly with you or not at all- Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together. Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever Thine Ever Mine Ever Yours
To me the highest thing, after God, is my honor.
I can do nothing but think of you... What have you done to me? Can't you remove the spell you have cast over me?
Music is the electric soil in which the spirit thinks, lives and invents. All that's electrical stimulates the mind to flowing surging musical creation. I am electrical by nature.
There are and always will be thousands of princes, but there is only one Beethoven!
The amount of money one needs is terrifying...
A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.
There is no loftier mission than to approach the Divinity nearer than other men, and to disseminate the divine rays among mankind.
