More quotes by 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
Imagination creates reality.
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
Plant life instead of animal food is the keystone of regeneration. Jesus used bread instead of flesh and wine in place of blood at the Lord's Supper.
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
I write music with an exclamation point!
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
Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them.
Richard Wagner
In contrast to reincarnation and karma, all other views seem petty and narrow
Richard Wagner
A political man is disgusting, but a political wife, horrible.
Richard Wagner
It is a truth forever, that where the speech of man stops short there Music's reign begins.
Richard Wagner
You know my faithfulness to you, never can another own my heart, never - never - never...
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
Achievements, seldom credited to their source, are the result of unspeakable drudgery and worries.
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
The whole duty of a conductor is comprised in his ability to indicate the right tempo.
Richard Wagner
I know absolutely nothing about music.
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
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
