• Toda grandeza, todo poder y toda subordinación a la autoridad descansan en el verdugo: él es el horror y el vínculo de la asociación humana. Si se retira del mundo a este incomprensible agente, en ese mismo instante el orden da paso al caos, los tronos se derrumban y la sociedad desaparece.

• Mozart tiene la pureza clásica de la luz y del océano azul; Beethoven la grandeza romántica que pertenece a las tempestades del aire y del mar, y mientras el alma de Mozart parece morar en las cumbres etéreas del Olimpo, la de Beethoven escala estremecida las laderas azotadas por la tormenta de un Sinaí. ¡Benditos sean ambos! Cada uno representa un momento de la vida ideal, cada uno nos hace bien. Nuestro amor se debe a ambos.
