More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
I don't want to know anything about your system of ethics. Strength is the morality of the man who stands out from the rest, and it is mine.
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
Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.
Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven

Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers from him I can still learn.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Fate gave to man the courage of endurance.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Handel, to him I bow the knee.
Ludwig van Beethoven
To do good whenever one can, to love liberty above all else, never to deny the truth, even though it be before the throne.
Ludwig van Beethoven
It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer.
Ludwig van Beethoven
We all make mistakes, but everyone makes different mistakes
Ludwig van Beethoven
What I have in my heart and soul - must find a way out. That's the reason for music.
Ludwig van Beethoven
