Everything Should Be At Once Surprising And

I Have Always Reckoned Myself Among The Greatest Admirers Of Mozart, And Shall Do So Till The Day Of My Death.

There Is No Greater Pleasure For Me Than To Practice And Exhibit My Art.

Recommend Virtue To Your Children, That Alone - Not Wealth - Can Give Happiness. It Upholds In Adversity And The Thought Of It And My Art Prevents Me From Putting An End To My Life.

Oh You Men Who Think Or Say That I Am Malevolent, Stubborn, Or Misanthropic, How Greatly Do You Wrong Me. You Do Not Know The Secret Cause Which Makes Me Seem That Way To You. Oh How Harshly Was I Flung Back By The Doubly Sad Experience Of My Bad Hearing.

From The Glow Of Enthusiasm I Let The Melody Escape.
