Oh, you happy sons of the Nort...
Oh, you happy sons of the North who have been reared at the bosom of Bach, how I envy you!
The artist must yield himself ...
The artist must yield himself to his own inspiraton, and if he has a true talent, no one knows and feels better than he what suits him.
I deny that either singers or ...
I deny that either singers or conductors can create or work creatively - this, as I have always said, is a conception that leads to the abyss.

Through care taken over trends, the desire to be novel and affectation knowledge, we repudiate our art, our instinct, our own way of doing things; it is absurd and stupid

The artist must yield himself to his own inspiration... I should compose with utter confidence a subject that set my musical blood going, even though it were condemned by all other artists as anti-musical.
Oh blessed a thousand times th...
Oh blessed a thousand times the peasant who is born, eats and dies without anybody bothering about his affairs.

It may be a good thing to copy...
It may be a good thing to copy reality; but to invent reality is much, much better.
I adore art...when I am alone ...
I adore art...when I am alone with my notes, my heart pounds and the tears stream from my eyes, and my emotion and my joys are too much to bear.

Our mistake, you see, was to write interminable large operas, which had to fill an entire evening. And now along comes someone with a one or two-act opera without all that pompous nonsense - that was a happy reform.
I have striven for perfection,...
I have striven for perfection, it has always eluded me, but I surely had an obligation to make one more try.
