More quotes by 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

Ludwig van Beethoven
Never forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.
Ludwig van Beethoven
You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that.
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
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
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape.

Ludwig van Beethoven
To me the highest thing, after God, is my honor.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I love a tree more than a man.
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
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
All my life I have regarded myself as one of Mozart's greatest admirers, and I will remain one until my last breath.
Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no loftier mission than to approach the Divinity nearer than other men, and to disseminate the divine rays among mankind.
Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no loftier mission than to approach the Godhead more nearly than other mortals, and by means of that contact to spread the rays of the Godhead through the human race.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Art demands of us that we shall not stand still.
Ludwig van Beethoven
It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Recommend to your children to be virtuous, only the virtue can bring us happiness, not the money.
Ludwig van Beethoven
