Amadeus V

Famous quotes containing the word amadeus:

    Human beings ought not to draw in their antennae at every ungentle touch, like supersensitive insects.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)

    It is a great mistake to suppose that clever, imaginative children ... should content themselves with the empty nonsense which is so often set before them under the name of Children’s Tales. They want something much better; and it is surprising how much they see and appreciate which escapes a good, honest, well- informed papa.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
