Ludwig van Beethoven
Art demands of us that we shall not stand still.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.
Ludwig van Beethoven
You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only art and science make us suspect the existence of life to a higher level, and maybe also instill hope thereof.
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
