Supreme serenity still remains the Ideal of great Art. The shapes and transitory forms of life are but stages toward this Ideal, which Christs religion illuminates with His divine light. – Franz Liszt
Real men are sadly lacking in this world, for when they are put to the test they prove worthless. – Franz Liszt
Life is only a long and bitter suicide, and faith alone can transform this suicide into a sacrifice. – Franz Liszt
A long and wicked life followed by five minutes of perfect grace gets you into Heaven. An equally long life of decent living and good works followed by one outburst of taking the name of the Lord in vain — then have a heart attack at that moment and be damned for eternity. Is that the system? – Robert A. Heinlein
