You know my faithfulness to you, never can another own my heart, never - never - never...
Richard Wagner
One might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion.

Richard Wagner
It should not be presumed that these people (the Jews), who are so separated from us by their religion, have any right to make our laws. But why blame the Jews? It is we who lack all feeling for our own identity, all sense of honour.
Richard Wagner
The oldest, truest, most beautiful organ of music, the origin to which alone our music owes its being, is the human voice.
Richard Wagner
From its first faint glimmerings, History shews Man's constant progress as a beast of prey. As such he conquers every land, subdues the fruit-fed races, founds mighty realms by subjugating other subjugators, forms states and sets up civilisations, to enjoy his prey at rest.
Richard Wagner
It is impossible to communicate with Schumann. The man is hopeless he doesn't talk at all.
Richard Wagner
