This is pretty wonderful.
It makes me feel not alone.
Quotes by famous composers/musicians
The one that got me the most was good ol' Franz Liszt. Note: he's from Hungaria, not France.
"Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of an artist."
Imagine being in your late 20's hanging out with Chopin and Bizet and all the French writers, probably smoking and getting drunk and just absolutely slaying at everything you play, creating what would be the absolute idealist way of life, having these European women fighting over everything you touched and creamed themselves every time you got on stage. You will be considered one of the best pianists of all time, and you die alone. Yup. I mean he had kids and had lovers and his writing just got better and better with every breakup, but the motherfucker knew he was going to die in a fashion opposite of his legacy. He wrote the most introspective and amazing pieces knowing he was on his way out, but he was still alone.
"I carry a deep sadness of the heart which must now and then break out in sound."
I mean, is it worth it?
