Attack and defence, want and war, victory and defeat, lordship and thraldom, all sealed with the seal of blood: this from henceforth is the History of Man.

I am writing Parsifal only for my wife - if I had to depend on the German spirit, I should have nothing more to say.

Certain things in Mozart will and can never be excelled.

It should not be presumed that these people (the Jews), who are so separated from us by their religion, have any right to make our laws. But why blame the Jews? It is we who lack all feeling for our own identity, all sense of honour.

What a wonderful work Wagner has done for humanity in translating the toil of life into the readable script of music! For those who seek the tale of other worlds his magic is silent; but earth-travail under his wand becomes instinct with rhythmic song to an accompaniment of the elements, and the blare and crash of the bottomless pit itself.

Whether government finances it...

Whether government finances its added spending by increasing taxes, by borrowing, or by inflating the currency, the added spending will be offset by reduced private spending. Furthermore, private spending is generally more efficient than the government spending that would replace it because people act more carefully when they spend their own money than when they spend other people's money.

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

Any so-called stimulus program...

Any so-called stimulus program is a ruse. The government can increase its spending only by reducing private spending equivalently.

Whatever my passions demand of...

Whatever my passions demand of me, I become for the time being - musician, poet, director, author, lecturer or anything else.

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

The sounds proceeding from the...

The sounds proceeding from the instruments of symphonic music seem to be the very organs of the mysteries of creation; for they reveal, as it were, the primal stirrings of creation which brought order out of chaos long before the human heart was there to behold them.

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

These revelations expressed th...

These revelations expressed through Art work upon the soul with a force carrying its own conviction and permeate our sentient life with a sense of truth which logic and mere reason are powerless to combat.

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

One might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion.

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

The oldest, truest, most beautiful organ of music, the origin to which alone our music owes its being, is the human voice.

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

We must learn to die, and to die in the fullest sense of the word. The fear of the end is the source of all lovelessness

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

Music truely has to all other arts the same relation as religion to the church.

Blessed be, the genius who never knew good fortune! Genius in itself already means so much; what meaning does luck still hold for him?

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

The only form of music is melody, without melody music is not feasible, and music and melody are quite inseparable.

Richard Wagner 97 quotes

Those who grasp the whole, will also comprehend all parts of that whole, even when immediate technical understanding is lacking, and recognize and marshal these.
