Ever Thine Ever Mine Ever Yours
Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven
Yet it was impossible for me to say to people, 'Speak louder, shout, for I am deaf.'

Ludwig van Beethoven
There is no greater pleasure for me than to practice and exhibit my art.
Ludwig van Beethoven
To me the highest thing, after God, is my honor.
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

Ludwig van Beethoven
Even in poverty I lived like a king for I tell you that nobility is the thing that makes a king
