Johann Sebastian Bach Quotes

Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown.

Jesus bleibet meine Freude,
Meines Herzens Trost und Saft,
Jesus wehret allem Leide,
Er ist meines Lebens Kraft,
Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne,
Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne;
Darum laß ich Jesum nicht
Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht.

I'm not this crazy drunk guy you see on 'SuperGroup'. I like to be mellow sometimes. I like to read a lot, and I'm actually starting to write my first book. I have read so many books and now I'm trying to document this specific tour, because it is fascinating!

Face to the reality.

We people don't like to be told what to do, am I right!? But something I learnt is that you just gotta walk up to this fucking asshole and say "well, EXCUSE ME! I didn't mean to offend you by listening to rock N roll! but, hey man... FUCK YOU!!!" That's right, because we are the youth gone wild!!

You know that episode where I said I'd stopped drinking? Well, I lied. Ted is so militant in his views. I lived with him for 12 days and it's hard to imagine ever doing anything that would truly look good in his eyes. Also he said some stuff online about Dimebag which I thought was really not cool. I'm not going to repeat it but you can check it out online.

Bei einer andächtigen Musik ist allezeit Gott mit seiner Gnaden Gegenwart.

Harmony is next to Godliness

I have always kept one end in view, namely ... to conduct a well-regulated church music to the honour of God.

Dem höchsten Gott allein zu Ehren,
Dem Nächsten draus sich zu belehren.

"O große Lieb, o Lieb ohn alle Maße,
Die dich gebracht auf diese Marterstraße!
Ich lebte mit der Welt in Lust und Freuden,
Und du mußt leiden.

O great love, o love beyond measure,
that brought You to this path of martyrdom!
I lived with the world in delight and joy,
and You had to suffer.

BWV 245 - "Johannes-Passion"
Oratorio for Good Friday, 3. Chorale."

Anyone who works as I do will succeed as I do.

To the glory of the most high God alone, and that my neighbour may be educated thereby.

Don't cry for me, for I go where music was born.

Where there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.
