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

Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear.

Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.

One must not hold one's self so divine as to be unwilling occasionally to make improvements in one's creations.

I want to seize fate by the throat.

What I have in my heart and soul - must find a way out. That's the reason for music.

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