More quotes by Richard Wagner
The most tremendous genius raised Mozart above all masters, in all centuries and in all the arts.
Richard Wagner
These revelations expressed through Art work upon the soul with a force carrying its own conviction and permeate our sentient life with a sense of truth which logic and mere reason are powerless to combat.
Richard Wagner
I am writing Parsifal only for my wife - if I had to depend on the German spirit, I should have nothing more to say.
Richard Wagner
Even if I know I shall never change the masses, never transform anything permanent, all I ask is that the good things also have their place, their refuge.
Richard Wagner
Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them.
Richard Wagner
I hate this fast growing tendency to chain men to machines in big factories and deprive them of all joy in their efforts - the plan will lead to cheap men and cheap products.
Richard Wagner

Richard Wagner
It is impossible to communicate with Schumann. The man is hopeless he doesn't talk at all.
Richard Wagner

Richard Wagner
I know absolutely nothing about music.
Richard Wagner
Imagination creates reality.
Richard Wagner
We must learn to die, and to die in the fullest sense of the word. The fear of the end is the source of all lovelessness
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
I believe in God, Mozart and Beethoven, and likewise their disciples and apostles - I believe in the Holy Spirit and the truth of the one, indivisible Art - I believe that this Art proceeds from God, and lives within the hearts of all illumined men.
Richard Wagner
The sounds proceeding from the instruments of symphonic music seem to be the very organs of the mysteries of creation for they reveal, as it were, the primal stirrings of creation which brought order out of chaos long before the human heart was there to behold them.
Richard Wagner
Human dignity begins to assert itself only at the point where man is distinguishable from the beast by pity for it.
Richard Wagner
Achievements, seldom credited to their source, are the result of unspeakable drudgery and worries.
Richard Wagner
You know my faithfulness to you, never can another own my heart, never - never - never...
Richard Wagner
I write music with an exclamation point!
Richard Wagner
The immoral profession of musical criticism must be abolished.
Richard Wagner
