Ludwig Beethoven Quotations

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy, it is the wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit.

I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits.

Applaud friends, the comedy is over. (Said as he was dying)

Never shall I forget the times I spent with you; continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.

Never shall I forget the time I spent with you. Please continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.

Never shall I forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.

I despise a world which does not feel that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy
