More quotes by 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
Even in poverty I lived like a king for I tell you that nobility is the thing that makes a king
Ludwig van Beethoven
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Wherever you are, I am there also.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Art demands of us that we shall not stand still.
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
Men are not only together when they are with each other even the distant and the dead live with us.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Love demands all, and has a right to all.
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
One must not hold one's self so divine as to be unwilling occasionally to make improvements in one's creations.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I shall hear in heaven.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Recommend virtue to your children, that alone - not wealth - can give happiness. It upholds in adversity and the thought of it and my art prevents me from putting an end to my life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
We all make mistakes, but everyone makes different mistakes
Ludwig van Beethoven
Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers from him I can still learn.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Yet it was impossible for me to say to people, 'Speak louder, shout, for I am deaf.' Ah, how could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense which ought to be more perfect in me than others, a sense which I once possessed in the highest perfection, a perfection such as few in my profession enjoy or ever have enjoyed.
Ludwig van Beethoven
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
Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?
Ludwig van Beethoven
Love, and love alone, is capable of giving thee a happier life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no greater pleasure for me than to practice and exhibit my art.
Ludwig van Beethoven
