O you miserable scoundrel, what I shit is better than anything you ever thought.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. (Applaud, my friends, the comedy is over.)

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

Ich werde im Himmel hören! (I will hear in heaven!)
