Only Art And Science Can Raise Men

From The Glow Of Enthusiasm I Let The Melody Escape.

Music Can Change The World.

Don't Only Practice Your Art, But Force Your Way Into Its Secrets; Art Deserves That, For It And Knowledge Can Raise Man To The Divine.

It Is The Power Of Music To Carry One Directly Into The Mental State Of The Composer.

I Haven't A Single Friend; I Must Live Alone. But Well I Know That God Is Nearer To Me Than To The Others Of My Art; I Associate With Him Without Fear, I Have Always Recognized And Understood Him, And I Have No Fear For My Music,-it Can Meet No Evil Fate. Those Who Understand It Must Become Free From All The Miseries That The Others Drag With Them.
