Nothing Right Can Be Accomplished

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.

My Whole Life Has Been A Twenty Years Struggle Between Poetry And Prose, Or, If You Like To Call It So, Music And Law.

My Symphonies Would Have Reached Opus 100 If I Had But Written Them Down... Sometimes I Am So Full Of Music, And So Overflowing With Melody, That I Find It Simply Impossible To Write Down Anything.

Art Was Not Created As A Way To Riches. Strive To Become A True Artist; All Else Will Take Care Of Itself.

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.
