  1. "Music, the art of moving intelligent human beings, endowed with special, well-trained organs, by means of combinations of sounds. To define music thus is to admit that we do not consider it, as the saying goes, fit for everyone. … it has always been apparent to the impartial observer that, a great number of individuals being incapable of feeling and understanding its power, they were not fit for music and, consequentially, music was not fit for them." (Mémoires de Hector Berlioz)
  2. "I told him my name, he told me his (it was Le Tessier—I never saw him again) and his profession. He was an engineer! A mathematician!! What the devil! Sensitivity lurks in the oddest nooks!" (Mémoires de Hector Berlioz)
