Ludwig van Beethoven
  • Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

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

  • Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.

  • Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.

  • Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.
