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

I can live only wholly with you or not at all.

When I open my eyes I must sigh, for what I see is contrary to my religion, and I must despise the world which does not know that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

In whatsoever manner it be, let me turn to God and become fruitful in good works. Nothing higher exists than to approach God more than other people and from that to extend His glory among humanity.I will place all my confidence in your eternal goodness, O God! My soul shall rejoice in Thee, immutable Being. Be my rock, my light, forever my trust.

Love demands all, and has a right to all.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
