LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents ... Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

My misfortune is doubly painful to me because it will result in my being misunderstood. For me there can be no recreation in the company of others, no intelligent conversation, no exchange of information with peers; only the most pressing needs can make me venture into society. I am obliged to live like an outcast.

A Room with a View

[Lucy finishes playing the pensione piano. Mr. Beebe claps.]

MR BEEBE

May I say something rather daring?

LUCY

Oh, Mr. Beebe, You sound like Miss Lavish. Don't tell me you're writing a novel, too.

MR. BEEBE

If I were, you would be my heroine. And I should write, “If Miss Honeychurch ever chooses to live as she plays, it will be very exciting. Both for us and for her.”

LUCY

Mother doesn't like me playing Beethoven. She says I'm always peevish after.

MR. BEEBE

Naturally … One would be … Stirred up. Won't you play some more?

LUCY

No, I think I'll go out.

MR. BEEBE

Alone? Is that wise, Miss Honeychurch?

LUCY

To be wise one might have stayed at home in Summer Street. I'll not go far, I promise.
