Additional quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
"Not "brook" [in German: Bach], but "sea" should he [Johann Sebastian Bach] be called because of his infinite, inexhaustible richness in tone combinations and harmonies.
(Nicht Bach! Meer sollte er heissen: wegen seines unendlichen, unerschoepflichen Reichtums an Tonkombinationen und Harmonien.)"
إن الملوكَ والأمراءَ يستطيعون أن يخلقوا الأساتذة والوزراء وأن يمنحوا الرتبَ والألقاب، ولكنهم لا يخلقون العظماء ولا العقول التي تعلو على السواد .. فإذا التقى رجلٌ مثلي ورجلٌ مثل جوته، فخليقٌ بالمالكين وذوي السلطان أن يعرفوا موضعَ العظمة هناك
I used to be too free with my judgements and made enemies in this way; now I judge no one, and for no other reason than that I want to harm no one, and in the end I say to myself: if there's something decent in anyone, it will be upheld in spite of every kind of malice and envy; if there's nothing solid in him, nothing that's durable, then he'll collapse in any case, though others support him in every possible way.
