❛o, you men who think or say that i am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. you do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you, and i would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back. ah, it seemed impossible to leave the world until i had brought forth all that i felt was within me.❜
         ㅡ ludwig van beethoven
