Character: Wagner

A person with all his joy and pain is just a grain of sand, which life can easily replace with another. No one is allowed to escape fate, no one is allowed to see the promised land.

As soon as I see a life free from suffering, carefully focused on being far away from it, I throw into it all the bitterness of my condemnation, for such a life seems to me infinitely far from the true task of man.

Love, driven to a frenzy, leads the best natures to the rejection of selfishness.

Music for me was a completely different, mystical, ghostly world of spirits, everything methodical could only distort it, and now I just lived and breathed in this Hoffmann's magical, mysterious world of sounds. Even tuning the instruments gave me a mystical thrill.

Now I see phenomena in a different light than in which they were painted to me before. Now I would like to be engaged only in art, absolutely not in contact with politics. Only by renouncing the world can I remain true to my true nature.

Through art, a slave or an outcast will emerge from a slave state, overcome untrue reality and rise to the height of artistic humanity.

True art can rise from its state of civilized barbarism to a height worthy of it only on the shoulders of a great social movement; he has a common goal with him. This goal is a wonderful and strong person.

Friedrich Nietzsche is read only when he defends our ideas.

The harder I work, the better the product will be and the better the trade will be. It is most important.

Words are worthless. The weapon is being tested in action.

To absorb
For Tom Tom, page after page!
And nights of winter fun fly
And the heart beats so nice!
But if I rare parchment will fall,
I'm just in heaven and eternally happy.

Like demon possessed, APE people
And that he calls fun, dancing, singing!

Terrible boiling in me for science zeal:
Though I know a lot, but would like to know.

Oh, my God, science is so extensive,
And our lives are so short.
My quest for knowledge relentlessly
And still sometimes bites me sad.
Like a lot of mental strength to get
Until means only that some sources find;
And then, that look even halfway
Have the poor and jitney to leave.
