Famous quotes containing the words wolfgang and/or mozart:
“People can only live with their equals, and not even with them; for in the long run they cannot tolerate that someone is their equal.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
