What a picture of a better world you have given us, Mozart!

I want you for always...days, years, eternities.

The greatest misfortune of the wise man and the greatest unhappiness of the fool are based upon convention.

One bites into the brass mouthpiece of his wooden cudgel, and the other blows his cheeks out on a French horn. Do you call that Art?

Who can do anything after Beethoven?

When all hopes of recognition or honor have faded into distant memory, when purity of heart meets sorrow of mind, when all the world seems to walk in blindness and yet a man works without wearying for that which he loves...only in this moment is passion truly understood

You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves.
