More quotes by Richard Wagner
The immoral profession of musical criticism must be abolished.
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
Human dignity begins to assert itself only at the point where man is distinguishable from the beast by pity for it.
Richard Wagner
Blessed be, the genius who never knew good fortune! Genius in itself already means so much what meaning does luck still hold for him?
Richard Wagner
I write music with an exclamation point!
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
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
I wish I could score everything for horns.
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
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
Imagination creates reality.
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
The long-term vision is to replace, repair and regenerate failing tissues and organs with the materials of tissues and organs. It's still 'out there,' but it's possible to put together a grant proposal now that doesn't sound completely crazy.
Richard Wagner
I know absolutely nothing about music.
Richard Wagner
The purpose of art: to make the unconscious conscious.
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
The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind, and melody is the absolute language in which the musician speaks to every heart.
Richard Wagner
I am convinced that there are universal currents of Divine Thought vibrating the ether everywhere and that any who can feel these vibrations is inspired.
Richard Wagner
The most tremendous genius raised Mozart above all masters, in all centuries and in all the arts.
Richard Wagner
