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.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers from him I can still learn.
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
Recommend to your children to be virtuous, only the virtue can bring us happiness, not the money.
Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven
