More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape. I pursue it. Breathless I catch up with it. It flies again, it disappears, it plunges into a chaos of diverse emotions. I catch it again, I seize it, I embrace it with delight... I multiply it by modulations, and at last I triumph in the first theme. There is the whole symphony.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is indeed the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Love demands all, and has a right to all.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.
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
It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer.
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
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
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
Only the flint of a man's mind can strike fire in music.
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
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
Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?
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
He who understand my music will remain free from the miseries that the other men are dragging with them .
Ludwig van Beethoven
I will seize fate by the throat it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Recommend to your children to be virtuous, only the virtue can bring us happiness, not the money.
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
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
Let your deafness no longer be a secret - even in art.
Ludwig van Beethoven
