Seni suara adalah hati manusia

Though German art can never be Bavarian, but simply German, yet Munich is the capital of this German Art; here, under shelter of a Prince who kindles my enthusiasm, to feel myself a native and member of the people was, to me, the homeless wanderer, a deep, a genuine need.

Musik memberi situasi yang paling mengerikan menjadi lingkungan yang ideal.

I am fond of them, of the inferior beings of the abyss, of those who are full of longing.

Joy is not in things; it is in us.

Imagination creates reality.

Everything lives and lasts by the inner necessity of its being, by its own nature's need.

Richard Wagner, a musician who wrote music which is better than it sounds.

Keterampilan penyair, bagaimanapun, adalah penyerapan sempurna dari niat ke dalam karya seni, mendapatkan pemahaman.

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

The measures and acts which show us violently disposed towards the outer world can never stay without a violent reaction on ourselves.

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.

Adalah tepat bagi penyair untuk menjadi lebih dewasa dalam intuisi batin dunia dari pada dalam pengetahuan yang sadar secara abstrak.

I can't distract myself enough here, for sketches to a new opera are constantly buzzing around in my head, to the extent that I need all my strength to wrest myself from them.

I have long been convinced that my artistic ideal stands or falls with Germany. Only the Germany that we love and desire can help us achieve that ideal.

Even if I know I shall never change the masses, never transform anything permanent, all I ask is that the good things also have their place, their refuge.

I have only a mind to live, to enjoy - i.e., to work as an artist, and produce my works; but not for the muddy brains of the common herd.

Divorce is one of the most financially traumatic things you can go through. Money spent on getting mad or getting even is money wasted.

In no State is there a weightier law than that which centers its stability in the supreme hereditary power of one particular family, unconnected and un-commingling with any other lineage in that State.

We find personal success and great, if not enduring, influence on the outer fashioning of the world allotted to the violent, the passionate individual who, unchaining the elemental principles of human impulse under favoring circumstances, points out to greed and self-indulgence the speedy pathways to their satisfaction.
