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
Image
He who understand my music will remain free from the miseries that the other men are dragging with them .
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
It is my belief one should not belittle the artist while, however glorious his fame may seem, his time on Mount Olympus as an honourable guest of Zeus is short. It's a pity, but all too eager will the common folk drag him from this etherial heights to the low and trodden earth.
Ludwig van Beethoven

I know no other sign of superiority than Goodness.
Ludwig van Beethoven

To me the highest thing, after God, is my honor.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
Oh you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn, or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you. Oh how harshly was I flung back by the doubly sad experience of my bad hearing.
Ludwig van Beethoven

We all make mistakes, but everyone makes different mistakes

This is not a brook [Bach means brook in German], it's an ocean.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
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

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
Music is the electric soil in which the spirit thinks, lives and invents. All that's electrical stimulates the mind to flowing surging musical creation. I am electrical by nature.
