"Art has no end but its own..." - Quote by Plato

“For this feeling of wonder shows that you are a philosopher, since wonder is the only beginning of philosophy.”

“Let men of all ranks whether they are successful, or unsuccessful, whether they triumph or not; let them do their duty, and rest satisfied.”

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

“Have you reckon’d a thousand acres much? have you reckon’d the earth much? Have you practis’d so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?”

“There are German songs which can make a stranger to the language cry.”

“True art takes note not merely of form but also of what lies behind.”

“Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”

“The perfect human being is all human beings put together, it is a collective, it is all of us together that make perfection.”

“Practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice?”
