Good quote
From Dr. Eulogius Schneider, Beethoven's mentor, professor at the University of Bonn, Attorney General of Lower Rhine under Napoleon:To despise fanaticism, to break the sceptre of stupidity, to fight for the rights of humanity, ah! no valet of princes can do that! It needs free souls that prefer death to flattery, poverty to servitude...And know that of such souls mine will not be the last!"
