Music is indeed the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

I have always reckoned myself among the greatest admirers of Mozart, and shall do so till the day of my death.

I shall hear in heaven.

Recommend to your children virtue; that alone can make them happy, not gold.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. Although the spirit be not master of that which it creates through music, yet it is blessed in this creation, which, like every creation of art, is mightier than the artist.

What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven.

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
