Only art and science make us suspect the existence of life to a higher level, and maybe also instill hope thereof.

You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that.

Music is the mediator between the life of the senses and the life of the spirit.

He who understand my music will remain free from the miseries that the other men are dragging with them .

This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble.

It is my belief one should not belittle the artist; while, however glorious his fame may seem, his time on Mount Olympus as an honourable guest of Zeus is short. It's a pity, but all too eager will the common folk drag him from this etherial heights to the low and trodden earth.

Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.
