Ludwig van Beethoven

Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus…

Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good…

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup…

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

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life…

Off with you! You’re a happy fellow, for you’ll give happiness and joy to many…

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life…

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess…

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind…

Recommend virtue to your children it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak…

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy…

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

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes…
