Felix Mendelssohn Quotes

Pray to God that He might create is us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us Picture Quote #1
Life and art are not two different things Picture Quote #1
It’s not that music is too imprecise for words, but too precise Picture Quote #1
The trombone is too sacred for frequent use Picture Quote #1
The essence of beauty is unity in variety Picture Quote #1
Ever since I began to compose, I have remained true to my starting principle: not to write a page because no matter what public, or what pretty girl wanted it to be thus or thus; but to write solely as I myself thought best, and as it gave me pleasure Picture Quote #1

These seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words Picture Quote #1
People usually complain that music is so ambiguous, and what they are supposed to think when they hear it is so unclear, while words are understood by everyone. But for me it is exactly the opposite... what the music I love expresses to me are thoughts not to indefinite for words, but rather too definite Picture Quote #1
This is what I think art is and what I demand of it: that it pull everyone in, that it show one person another’s most intimate thoughts and feelings, that it throw open the window of the soul Picture Quote #1
And do you agree with me, that the first condition of an artist should be to bear respect toward what is great, and to bow to it and acknowledge it and not attempt to extinguish great flames for the sake of making his own rushlight burn more brightly? Picture Quote #1
People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words. With me, it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words Picture Quote #1
A prophet such as we could use again today, strong, zealous, angry and gloomy in opposition to the leaders, the masses indeed the whole world Picture Quote #1
