My compositions spring from my sorrows. Those that give the world the greatest delight were born of my deepest griefs.

Our castle is not imposing, but is well built, and surrounded by a very fine garden. I live in the bailiff's house.

The world resembles a stage on which every man is playing a part.

There are eight girls in the house in which I am living, and practically all of them are good looking. You can realize that I am kept busy.

Why does God endow us with compassion?

My compositions spring from my sorrows. Those that give the world the greatest delight were born of my deepest griefs.

Love is in the air these days, so we thought we'd give a try to make your day a little brighter.
