Carl Maria von Weber quotes
-
“An artist's sphere of influence is the world.”
-- Carl Maria von Weber -
“What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind. Music is love itself, -- it is the purest, most ethereal language of passion, showing in a thousand ways all possible changes of colour and feeling; and though true in only a single instance, it yet can be understood by thousands of men -- who all feel differently.”
-- Carl Maria von Weber -
“Music is truly love itself, the purest, most ethereal language of the emotions, embodying all their changing colors in every variety of shading and nuance.”
-- Carl Maria von Weber -
“The art of music, rather more daughter than imitator of nature, in her impressive and mysterious language minding and educating us, rouses directly our temper and rules us to the depths of our souls.”
-- Carl Maria von Weber -
-
“No fate holds more splendour for an artist, than the one which greets his effort with such enthousiasm!”
-- Carl Maria von Weber -
“The hardest thing is to endure the applause of fools, and patiently suffer the booing, while with the bravissimo of the foolish one would rather strike them between the ears.”
-- Carl Maria von Weber -
“Delude not yourself with the notion that you may be untrue and uncertain in trifles and in important things the contrary. Trifles make up existence, and give the observer the measure by which to try us; and the fearful power of habit, after a time, suffers not the best will to ripen into action.”
-- Carl Maria von Weber
-

-
“The artist as businessman is uglier than the businessman as artist.”
