A THREAD on insightful quotes by Mozart:

1/

When I am ..... completely myself, entirely alone... or during the night when I cannot sleep, it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly.

Whence and how these ideas come I know not nor can I force them.

2/

When I feel well and in a good humour, or when I am taking a drive or walking after a good meal, or in the night when I cannot sleep, thoughts crowd into my mind as easily as you could wish.

3/

We live in this world in order always to learn industriously and to enlighten each other by means of discussion and to strive vigorously to promote the progress of science and the fine arts.

4/

I am not thoughtless but am prepared for anything and as a result can wait patiently for whatever the future holds in store, and I'll be able to endure it.

5/

I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

6/

I should like to know for what reason idleness is so popular with many young people that it is impossible to dissuade them from it either by words or by chastisements.

7/

I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.

8/

It is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me.

I assure you, dear friend, no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I.

There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied.

9/

You know that I immerse myself in music, so to speak— that I think about it all day long— that I like experimenting, studying, reflecting.
