A little respect from my elders would have been nice, but I had to learn it from people who kept calling my ideas 'bold' like they were surprised a genius had a schedule. by Ludwig van Beethoven

Say what you want, but when people hear my name they don’t whisper 'polite' and that’s the point.

I taught one revolutionary and one eternal grudge, and somehow the grudge tweets more.

And yet somehow the lessons produced better music than the compliments ever did.

Careful, Joseph, he thinks being difficult is a genre.

I called your work bold because you kept turning every lesson into a public challenge, Ludwig.
