More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
One must not hold one's self so divine as to be unwilling occasionally to make improvements in one's creations.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Recommend virtue to your children, that alone - not wealth - can give happiness. It upholds in adversity and the thought of it and my art prevents me from putting an end to my life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I shall seize fate by the throat.
Ludwig van Beethoven
The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Richard Wagner commenting on the music of Ludvig Van Beethoven: He was a Titan, wrestling with the Gods.
Ludwig van Beethoven
The world is a king, and like a king, desires flattery in return for favor but true art is selfish and perverse — it will not submit to the mold of flattery.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Wherever you are, I am there also.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Ludwig van Beethoven
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape. I pursue it. Breathless I catch up with it. It flies again, it disappears, it plunges into a chaos of diverse emotions. I catch it again, I seize it, I embrace it with delight... I multiply it by modulations, and at last I triumph in the first theme. There is the whole symphony.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I am resolved to rise superior to every obstacle. With whom need I be afraid of measuring my strength? I will take Fate by the throat. It shall not overcome me. O how beautiful it is to be alive - would that I could live a thousand times!
Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no loftier mission than to approach the Godhead more nearly than other mortals, and by means of that contact to spread the rays of the Godhead through the human race.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.
Ludwig van Beethoven
such incidents brought me to the verge of despair, but little more and I would have put an end to my life - only art it was that withheld me, - ah, it seemed impossible to leave the world until I had produced all that I had felt called upon to produce.
Ludwig van Beethoven
All my life I have regarded myself as one of Mozart's greatest admirers, and I will remain one until my last breath.
Ludwig van Beethoven
My heart is full of many things there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.
Ludwig van Beethoven
To me the highest thing, after God, is my honor.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.
Ludwig van Beethoven
