Richard Wagner
Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them.
Richard Wagner
Achievements, seldom credited to their source, are the result of unspeakable drudgery and worries.
Richard Wagner
One might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion.
