Love, and love alone, is capable of giving thee a happier life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Life would be flat without music. It is the background to all I do. It speaks to the heart in its own special way like nothing else.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only art and science make us suspect the existence of life to a higher level, and maybe also instill hope thereof.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I have always reckoned myself among the greatest admirers of Mozart, and shall do so till the day of my death.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Handel, to him I bow the knee.

Ludwig van Beethoven

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
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

Ludwig van Beethoven
But what a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone standing next to me heard a shepherd singing and again I heard nothing. Such incidents drove me almost to despair a little more of that and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.
Ludwig van Beethoven
How glad I am to be able to roam in the wood and thicket, among trees and flowers and rocks ... in the country, every tree seems to speak to me, saying, Holy! Holy, in the woods, there is enchantment which expresses all things.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no greater pleasure for me than to practice and exhibit my art.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Rossini would have been a great composer if his teacher had spanked him enough on his backside.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Wherever you are, I am there also.
Ludwig van Beethoven
