Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes:

Ocupation: Philosopher

Life: September 28, 1821 - May 11, 1881

Birthday: September 28

Death: May 11

Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.
