I Shall Seize Fate By The Throat.

Artists Are Fiery; They Do Not Weep.

There Is No Loftier Mission Than To Approach The Divinity Nearer Than Other Men, And To Disseminate The Divine Rays Among Mankind.

Music Is The Mediator Between The Life Of The Senses And The Life Of The Spirit.

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

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