More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
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.
Ludwig van Beethoven
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape.
Ludwig van Beethoven
If I contemplate myself as part of the Universe: what am I?
Ludwig van Beethoven
Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.
Ludwig van Beethoven
A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.
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
But what a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone standing next to me heard a shepherd singing and again I heard nothing. Such incidents drove me almost to despair a little more of that and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back.
Ludwig van Beethoven
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
Music is indeed the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
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
I change many things, discard others, and try again and again until I am satisfied then, in my head, I being to elaborate the work in its breadth, its narrowness, its height, its depth...I hear and see the image in front of me from every angle as if it had been cast and only the labour of writing it down remains.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. Although the spirit be not master of that which it creates through music, yet it is blessed in this creation, which, like every creation of art, is mightier than the artist.
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
Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup.
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
Good Morning, on July 7 My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved I can only live wholly with you or not at all- Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together. Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever Thine Ever Mine Ever Yours
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only the flint of a man's mind can strike fire in music.
Ludwig van Beethoven
What you are, you are by accident of birth what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes there is only one Beethoven.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I wish you music to help with the burdens of life ,and to help you release your happiness to others.
Ludwig van Beethoven
