Beethoven

I will hear in heaven!

I want to seize fate by the throat.

Recommend to your children virtue; that alone can make them happy, not gold.Image:Beethoven.jpg

I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.

Music is a higher revelation than philosophy.

I wish you music to help with the burdens of life ,and to help you release your happiness to others.

What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven.

I think it's one of the greatest tragedies mankind has ever known - the  most revered composer of all time was deaf!

This is what Bertrand Russell said about religion...

Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. ... A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men.
