Famous quotes containing the words haydn and/or mozart:

    To the extent to which genius can be conjoined with a merely good human being, Haydn possessed genius. He never exceeds the limits that morality sets for the intellect; he only composes music which has “no past.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    One must not make oneself cheap here—that is a cardinal point—or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.
    —Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
