More quotes by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I should like to know for what reason idleness is so popular with many young people that it is impossible to dissuade them from it either by words or by chastisements.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Music is my life and my life is music. Anyone who does not understand this is not worthy of God.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
It is a mistake to think that the price of my art has become easy to me.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Creativity is the firing of my soul.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
An astonishing number of kisses are flying about! I see a whole crowd of them. Ha! Ha! I have just caught three - They are delicious... I kiss you millions of times.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
For I assure you, without travel, at least for people from the arts and sciences, one is a miserable creature!... A man of mediocre talents always remains mediocre, may he travel or not - but a man of superior talents, which I cannot deny myself to have without being blasphemous, becomes - bad, if he always stays in the same place.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The best way to learn is through the powerful force of rhythm.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Our riches, being in our brains, die with us... Unless of course someone chops off our head, in which case, we won't need them anyway.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I write [music] as a sow piddles.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
When I feel well and in a good humour, or when I am taking a drive or walking after a good meal, or in the night when I cannot sleep, thoughts crowd into my mind as easily as my mind might wish.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Now let the matter rest as it is, or as it may be, what avail useless speculations? What is to occur we do not know still in so far we do! what God wills!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Let us put our trust in God and console ourselves with the thought that all is well, if it is in accordance with the will of the Almighty, as He knows best what is profitable and beneficial to our temporal happiness and our eternal salvation.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The wonders of the music of the future will be of a higher & wider scale and will introduce many sounds that the human ear is now incapable of hearing. Among these new sounds will be the glorious music of angelic chorales. As men hear these they will cease to consider Angels as figments of their imagination.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Love guards the heart from the abyss.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A bachelor, in my opinion, is only half alive.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I must give you a piece of intelligence that you perhaps already know, namely that the ungodly arch-villain Voltaire has died miserably like a dog, just like a brute. That is his reward!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
If only the whole world could feel the power of harmony.
