"Richard Wagner, a musician who wrote music..." - Quote by Richard Wagner

“I was in a state of gnawing, sensuous agitation that excited continually both blood and nerves when I sketched out the music for 'Tannhauser' and brought it to completion.”

“Many's the man/ who thought himself wise/ but what he needed/ he did not know.”

“Wherever the fish are, that's where we go.”

“A wise man seeks by music to strengthen his soul: the thoughtless one uses it to stifle his fears.”

“Though I'm not the first king of controversy, I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley. To do black music so selfishly, and use it to get myself wealthy.”

“Music then is simply the result of the effects of Love on rhythm and harmony.”

“The question that drives me hazy is whether it is I or others who is crazy.”

“Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”

“Sudden total weight loss.”
