Perpetuity Wicked

Beethoven, he learned, was a proud man who believed absolutely in his own abilities and never bothered to flatter the nobility. Believing that art itself, and the proper expression of emotions, was the most sublime thing in the world, he thought political power and wealth served only one purpose: to make art possible.

    I like this quote. And also, Beethoven is my favourite composer. Not just because of his music. I like his life.
