Witold Lutoslawski

People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.

Douglas Adams

Beethoven tells you what it’s like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it’s like to be human. Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe.

Frédéric Chopin

I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness, but I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.
