Ludwig van Beethoven

Music comes to me more readily than words.

Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

It is characteristic of science that the full explanations are often seized in their essence by the percipient scientist long in advance of any possible proof.

I've always had real trouble knowing what my actual desires and goals are. I've just been dragged along by fate.

Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.
