I shall seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.


letter to Franz Wegeler, 16 November 1801, in A. C. Kalischer (ed.) Beethoven's Letters (1909)


I shall seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.

I shall seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.

I shall seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.

I shall seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.
