We have learned to express the more delicate nuances of feeling by penetrating more deeply into the mysteries of harmony Picture Quote #1

Art was not created as a way to riches. Strive to become a true artist; all else will take care of itself Picture Quote #1

Can that which has cost the artist days, weeks, months and even years of reflection be understood in a flash by a dilettante? Picture Quote #1

I am so fresh in soul and spirit that life gushes and bubbles around me in a thousand springs Picture Quote #1

People compose for many reasons, to become immortal; because the piano happens to be open; because they want to become a millionaire; because of the praise of friends; because they have looked into a pair of beautiful eyes; or for no reason whatsoever Picture Quote #1

To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist Picture Quote #1

Remember, there are more people in the world than yourself. Be modest! You have not yet invented nor thought anything which others have not thought or invented before. And should you really have done so, consider it a gift of heaven which you are to share with others Picture Quote #1

If, while at the piano, you attempt to form little melodies, that is very well; but if they come into your mind of themselves, when you are not practising, you may be still more pleased; for the internal organ of music is then roused in you. The fingers must do what the head desires; not the contrary Picture Quote #1

Thus it is ever in life. The aims we once pursued no longer satisfy us; we aim, we strive, we aspire, until sight fails, and mind and body find rest in the grave Picture Quote #1

The poet sees better than other mortals. I do not see things as they are, but according to my own subjective impression, and this makes life easier and simpler Picture Quote #1
