More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
Love demands all, and has a right to all.
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
I love a tree more than a man.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.
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
Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Then let us all do what is right, strive with all our might toward the unattainable, develop as fully as we can the gifts God has given us, and never stop learning
Ludwig van Beethoven
I am resolved to rise superior to every obstacle. With whom need I be afraid of measuring my strength? I will take Fate by the throat. It shall not overcome me. O how beautiful it is to be alive - would that I could live a thousand times!
Ludwig van Beethoven
I will seize fate by the throat it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Wherever you are, I am there also.
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
Men are not only together when they are with each other even the distant and the dead live with us.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is indeed the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I liked your opera. I think I will set it to music.
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 the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Artists are fiery they do not weep.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.
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
When I open my eyes I must sigh, for what I see is contrary to my religion, and I must despise the world which does not know that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Ludwig van Beethoven
