Creative Quotations from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( ) born on Jan 27 Austrian composer who composed 600+ works

When I am… traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep; it is on such occasions that ideas flow best and most abundantly.

Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, I hear them all at once. What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.

…the whole…stands almost complete and finished in my mind, so that I can survey it, like a fine picture or a beautiful statute, at a glance.

…to talk well and eloquently is a very great art, but that an equally great one is to know the right moment to stop.

One must not make oneself cheap here -- that is a cardinal point – or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.
