Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

"When I leave this world, I will leave no regrets. I did what I was meant to do."

"The greatest joy known to human beings is to watch another human being grow."

"One cannot always write the most wonderful things from the heart."

"I would rather have a bad idea than a good silence."

"Life is neither to be feared nor lived in excessive caution. It is to be lived fully."

"Every day I discover something new about my art."

"Nothing is invented and perfected at the same time."

"Music which comes from the heart goes to the heart."

"I think I'll bid the world farewell through my music."

"There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction."

"The music transports me instantly into the state which was approachable to my poor sick soul."

"I am your friend, not just a composer."

"All the parts of a theme must be interdependent like the parts of a well-constructed machine."

"Silence is the pause that allows for profound music to exist."

"When the muse strikes, I am obliged to write."

"We cannot destroy the beauty of life by fearing death."

"It is the duty of all beings to respect the creativity within them."

"A well-meaning man may succeed through industry where a brighter man might fail."

"The most perfect musical state is when an idea seizes the mind completely."

"Love itself is what we are seeking for, but we mistake its many forms as the only love."

"I must know what kind of person I will be to know what kind of music I'll write."

"The worst thing about music is that it interferes with my silence."

"To compose is the mark of extensive genius; to execute, of great talent."

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."

"I am not bound to please you with my art."

"There is a sort of pride in not wanting to be known as the composer of a particular work."

"The passions that nature gives us are often necessary for our happiness."

"I have this habit of looking at my works once they are done, and I am never satisfied."

"A man of talent should never allow himself to become a hack."

"Without music, life would be a mistake."
