"Musik höhere Offenbarung ist als alle Weisheit und Philosophie." -- Ludwig van Beethoven rprobably[1] born 1770-12-16, d. 1827-03-26) -- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

[1] According to Wikipedia, "There is no authentic record of the date of his birth; however, the registry of his baptism, in the Catholic Parish of St. Remigius on 17 December 1770, survives, and the custom in the region at the time was to carry out baptism within 24 hours of birth. There is a consensus, (with which Beethoven himself agreed) that his birth date was 16 December, but no documentary proof of this."
