Mozart's music is an invitation to the listener to venture just a little out of the sense of his own subjectivity.

Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.

There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.

The Devil may also make use of morality.

The angels laugh at old Karl. They laugh at him because he tries to grasp the truth about God in a book of Dogmatics. They laugh at the fact that volume follows volume, and each is thicker than the previous ones. As they laugh, they say to one another, ‘Look! Here he comes now with his little pushcart full of volumes of the Dogmatics!’—and they laugh about the persons who write so much about Karl Barth instead of writing about the things he is trying to write about. Truly, the angels laugh.

To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.

Mozart creates music from a mysterious center, and so knows the limits to the right and the left, above and below. He maintains moderation.
