“The true artist is not proud, he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal; and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun. I would, perhaps, rather come to you and your people, than to many rich folk who display inward poverty.”
― Ludwig van Beethoven, Beethoven's Letters: with explanatory notes Dr. A.C. Kalischer

“I am a cage, in search of a bird.”
