“I want to listen to Beethoven and Mozart. I want to read the best mind...” — Alexandra Stoddard Quote

“I want to listen to Beethoven and Mozart. I want to read the best minds. I want to live with uplifting art. I don't want to live a grubby life.”

“Don't feel you have to buy something to sit in or at. Buy something you are emotionally attached to and build your design around that. One Matisse cutout poster could provide you with your whole color scheme!”

“I get all dressed up in fuchsia, looking like a clown, and show pretty pictures to people.”

“I like Beethoven, especially the poems.”

“I find myself more genuinely drawn to the essence of Beethoven in Schnabel than I ever have been by anybody.”

“I'm a big Beethoven fan, and you'll struggle to find a three-minute song on any of his stuff.”
