Salzburg Quotes

Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life

The sunset was spectacular, and they were safe in the minibus with the students from Estonia who were on their way to Salzburg for the Sound of Music tour. Jonah sat up front with girls and led a sing-along. Who would have guessed that the hip-hop star knew all the words to "Climb Ev'ry Mountain"?

The only thing--I tell you this straight from the heart--that disgusts me in Salzburg is that one can't have any proper social intercourse with those people--and that music does not have a better reputation...For I assure you, without travel, at least for people from the arts and sciences, one is a miserable creature!...A man of mediocre talents always remains mediocre, may he travel or not--but a man of superior talents, which I cannot deny myself to have without being blasphemous, becomes--bad, if he always stays in the same place. If the archbishop would trust me, I would soon make his music famous; that is surely true.

Strauss! Oh yes, he was so-so. He wrote pretty music- The Blue Danube and Tales from the Vienna Woods. But what is that compared to Mozart?' Suddenly, Bess and George spotted Nancy coming towards them. 'Nancy!' the cousins chimed simultaneously and raced toward her. 'I see our bus driver is still at it.' Nancy grinned. 'All the way from Salzburg." George groaned. 'Did he run off the road again?' 'Not once but many times,' Bess said. 'It was awful. Once he got so angry because someone compared Beethoven to Mozart that he actually stopped the bus, ran outside, and shouted into the valley, Beethoven is a bore. Mozart is sublime. Over and over. The professor had to go out and drag him back to the bus.

Globetrotting destroys ethnocentricity, helping us understand and appreciate other cultures. Rather than fear the diversity on this planet, celebrate it. Among your most prized souvenirs will be the strands of different cultures you choose to knit into your own character. The world is a cultural yarn shop, and Back Door travelers are weaving the ultimate tapestry.

We gladly conform to the people's needs in all things if it can be done in conformity with the word of God and for the sake of God's kingdom.

If Mozart had been born to a poor family in Bombay instead of a cultured one in Salzburg, would he have composed Symphony no. 36 in C? Not a chance.

Recalcitrance and malice we find in no Salzburger; the most useless and worst are those who have come to them along the way from other places.

Our Salzburgers did not leave their home for the sake of good living; under the merciful guidance of our miraculous God they landed in this quiet corner of the world in order to strive first and foremost for God's kingdom and His justice.

It’s one thing to be brilliant, but to be brilliant without opportunity—that was something else. If Mozart had been born to a poor family in Bombay instead of a cultured one in Salzburg, would he have composed Symphony no. 36 in C? Not a chance.

It’s one thing to be brilliant, but to be brilliant without opportunity – that was something else. If Mozart had been born to a poor family in Bombay instead of a cultured one in Salzburg, would he have composed Symphony no. 36 in C? Not a chance.

über alle beliebigen Ketzereien zu inquirieren, vornehmlich aber über die in jetzigen Zeiten gedeihende Ketzerei der Hexen, und zwar durch fünf Metropolitankirchen, nämlich von Mainz, Köln, Trier, Salzburg und Bremen, mit aller Befugnis, gegen solche bis zur letzten Vertilgung vorzugehen, nach

So, in spite of all apparent contradictions, this strange love of Hitler for Stefanie falls into the pattern of his character. Love was a field where the unforeseeable might happen, and which might become dangerous. How many men who had set out with great intentions had been forced off their path by irregular and complicated love affairs. It was imperative to be on one's guard! Instinctively, the young Hitler found the only correct attitude in his love for Stefanie: he possessed a being whom he loved, and at the same time, he did not possess her. He arranged his whole life as though he possessed this beloved creature entirely. But as he himself avoided any personal meeting, this girl, although he could see that she walked the earth, remained nevertheless a creature of his dream world, towards whom he could project his desires, plans and ideas. And thus he kept himself from deviating from his own path; indeed, this strange relationship, through the power of love, increased his own will. He imagines Stefanie as his wife, builds the house in which they live together, surrounds it with a magnificent garden and arranges his home with Stefanie, just as, in fact, he did later on the Ober-Salzburg, though without her. This mixing of dream and reality is characteristic of the young Hitler. And whenever there is a danger that the beloved would entirely escape into the realm of fantasy, he hurries to the Schmiedtoreck and makes sure that she really walks the earth. Hitler was confirmed in the choice of his path, not by what Stefanie actually was, but by what his imagination made of her. Thus, Stefanie was two things for him, one part reality and one part wish and imagination. Be that as it may, Stefanie was the most beautiful, the most fertile and purest dream of his life.

Öğrenim gördüğümüz yerdeki çevre bize düşmansa, bize dostça bakan çevrede olduğundan daha iyi çalışırız, öğrenim gören kişi ona dost olan çevre yerine, düşman olan çevreyi seçerse daha iyi eder, çünkü ona dost olan çevre eğitimine vereceği dikkatin büyük bir bölümünü alıp götürür, düşman çevre ise ona yüzde yüz bir eğitim sağlar, çünkü o bu eğitime yoğunlaşmak zorundadır, umutsuzluğa kapılmamak için, böyle bakıldığında Salzburg büyük bir olasılıkla tüm öteki güzel denilen kentler içinde eğitim için mutlaka önerilir, ama yalnızca güçlü bir kişiliği olana, zayıf biri orada kısa sürede kuşkusuz yitip gider.

[Mrs. Rieser] diligently instills into her children the advantages they have here over their miserable fatherland in Salzburg. They knew, saw, and heard nothing of the horrors that she had seen and in part experienced. They lived, she said, in solitude, are healthy, and are free and have the means of salvation abundantly.

Vienna’s population has dropped to 1.8 million, with dogs being the preferred “child” and the average Austrian woman having only 1.4 children.

If someone had seen our faces on the journey from Auschwitz to a Bavarian camp as we beheld the mountains of Salzburg with their summits glowing in the sunset, through the little barred windows of the prison carriage, he would never have believed that those were the faces of men who had given up all hope of life and liberty. Despite that factor - or maybe because of it - we were carried away by nature's beauty

Öğrenim gördüğümüz yerdeki çevre bize düşmansa, bize dostça bakan çevrede olduğundan daha iyi çalışırız, öğrenim gören kişi ona dost olan çevre yerine, düşman olan çevreyi seçerse daha iyi eder, çünkü ona dost olan çevre eğitimine vereceği dikkatin büyük bir bölümünü alıp götürür, düşman çevre ise ona yüzde yüz bir eğitim sağlar, çünkü o bu eğitime yoğunlaşmak zorundadır, umutsuzluğa kapılmamak için, böyle bakıldığında Salzburg büyük bir olasılıkla tüm öteki güzel denilen kentler içinde eğitim için mutlaka önerilir, ama yalnızca güçlü bir kişiliği olana, zayıf biri orada kısa sürede kuşkusuz yitip gider.

While the Austrian crown was dissolving like jelly in your fingers, everyone wanted Swiss francs and American dollars, and large numbers of foreigners exploited the economic situation to feed on the twitching corpse of the old Austrian currency. Austria was ‘discovered’, and became disastrously popular with foreign visitors in a parody of the society season. All the hotels in Vienna were crammed full with these vultures; they would buy anything, from toothbrushes to country estates; they cleared out private collections of antiquities and the antique dealers’ shops before the owners realised how badly they had been robbed and cheated in their time of need. Hotel receptionists from Switzerland and Dutch shorthand typists stayed in the princely apartments of the Ringstrasse hotels. Incredible as it may seem, I can vouch for it that for a long time the famous, de luxe Hotel de l’Europe in Salzburg was entirely booked by unemployed members of the English proletariat, who could live here more cheaply than in their slums at home, thanks to the generous unemployment benefit they received. Anything that was not nailed down disappeared. Word gradually spread of the cheap living and low prices in Austria. Greedy visitors came from further and further afield, from Sweden, from France, and you heard more Italian, French, Turkish and Romanian than German spoken in the streets of the city centre of Vienna.

In the great world outside Hungary events were taking place that would change all their lives: the uprising in Russia, the dispute over Crete, the Kaiser Wilhelm’s ill-timed visit to Tangier, the revelation of Germany’s plans to expand its navy – but such matters were of no importance to the members of the Hungarian Parliament. Even events closer to home, such as the rabble-rousing speech of an Austrian politician in Salzburg urging revolt among the German-speaking minorities in northern Hungary, or the anonymous pamphlet, which appeared in Vienna and revealed the total unpreparedness of the Austro-Hungarian forces compared with those of the other European powers, went unnoticed in Budapest. Naturally when Apponyi made a speech in favour of Deszo Baffy’s proposal to limit the demand for Hungarian commands in the army to using Hungarian only in regimental matters, everyone listened and discussed it as if their very lives depended on it.

Ich wußte, warum ich die Beamtin im Arbeitsamt Dutzende von Karteikarten aus dem Karteikasten herausnehmen hatte lassen, ich wollte in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, diesen Begriff in die entgegengesetzte Richtung hatte ich mir auf dem Weg in das Arbeitsamt immer wieder vorgesagt, immer wieder in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, die Beamtin verstand nicht, wenn ich sagte, in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, denn ich hatte ihr einmal gesagt, ich will in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, sie betrachtete mich wahrscheinlich als verrückt, denn ich hatte tatsächlich mehrere Male zu ihr in die entgegengesetzte Richtung gesagt, wie, dachte ich, kann sie mich auch verstehen, wo sie doch überhaupt nichts und nicht das geringste von mir weiß. Sie hatte mir, schon ganz verzweifelt über mich und über ihren Karteikasten, eine Reihe von Lehrstellen angeboten, aber diese Lehrstellen waren alle nicht in der entgegengesetzten Richtung gewesen, und ich mußte ihre Lehrstellenangebote ablehnen, ich wollte nicht nur in eine andere Richtung, ich wollte in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, ein Kompromiß war unmöglich geworden, so hatte die Beamtin immer wieder eine Karteikarte aus dem Karteikasten herauszuziehen gehabt, und ich hatte diese Karteikartenadresse abzulehnen gehabt, weil ich kompromißlos in die entgegengesetzte Richtung wollte, nicht nur in eine andere Richtung, nur in die entgegengesetzte. Die Beamtin hatte es so gut wie ihr möglich mit mir gemeint, und wahrscheinlich war sie von den ihr besten Adressen ausgegangen, sie betrachtete zum Beispiel eine Lehrstellenadresse in der Stadtmitte, also die Adresse eines der größten angesehensten Kleidergeschäfte mitten in der Stadt, als die allerbeste, und sie verstand ganz einfach nicht, daß mich nicht die allerbeste Adresse interessierte, sondern nur die entgegengesetzte, sie, die Beamtin, hatte mich ganz einfach gut unterbringen wollen, aber ich wollte ja gar nicht gut untergebracht sein, im Gegenteil, ich wollte in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, immer wieder hatte ich vorgebracht, in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, aber sie ließ sich dadurch nicht beirren, mir ihrerseits immer wieder eine sogenannte gute Adresse aus dem Karteikasten herauszuziehen, heute höre ich noch ihre Stimme Adressen sagen, die jeder in der Stadt kennt, die stadtbekanntesten und stadtberühmtesten Adressen, aber diese Adressen interessierten mich nicht, daß es sich um ein Geschäft handeln müsse, in das Menschen eintreten, sehr viele Menschen, hatte ich ihr sofort nach meinem Eintreten gesagt gehabt, aber ihr doch nicht erklären können, was ich meinte, wenn ich sagte, in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, ich hatte ihr erklärt, daß ich so viele Jahre durch die Reichenhaller Straße in die Stadt in das Gymnasium gegangen sei, jetzt wollte ich in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, gutmütig, wie sie gewesen war, entschlossen, wie ich, hatten wir über eine halbe Stunde das Karteikartenspiel gespielt, indem sie eine Karteikarte aus dem Karteikasten herauszog und eine Adresse nannte und ich die Adresse ablehnte; ich lehnte jede Adresse ab, weil keine dieser von ihr aus dem Karteikasten herausgezogenen Adressen jene gewesen war, die ich suchte, alle diese von mir abgelehnten Adressen, und damals hatte es, zum Unterschied von heute, Hunderte von offenen Handelslehrstellen in Salzburg gegeben, waren keine Adressen in der entgegengesetzten Richtung gewesen, die ich wünschte, die besten Adressen, die sich denken lassen, aber keine in der entgegengesetzten Richtung, bis die Adresse des Karl Podlaha in der Scherzhauserfeldsiedlung an der Reihe gewesen war.

During the conversation she [7th-GGM, Anna Maria Hoepflinger Floerl] also talked about the guidance with which God had provided her when they started to expel the Salzburgers. She was born in the state of Bavaria and brought up in ignorance by her seriously erring mother and some relatives. However, when God recognized that He could save her soul, He saw to it that among the twelve journeyman of a papal masterbuilder from Salzburg who worked on a church in Bavaria, there was a Lutheran journeyman, called “the Lutheran,” about whose religion strange things were said. Because he got room and board at the house of her cousin, for whom she worked, she was very much aware of his Christian behavior. And, since she noticed great peace, nonconformance to the world, and diligent prayer and intercession as well as sympathy and tears when he saw the bound Evangelical Salzburgers being led past him, she had the deep desire to talk to this man secretly about his and her religious faith. One evening God arranged for her cousin to be busy with the soldiers who were accompanying the Salzburgers on their way across Bavaria, while the servants were in the tavern. She grasped this opportunity to make this knowledgeable man, who was experienced in Christianity, teach her the Evangelical truth for three hours; upon her request, he also sent her a good book, namely the Schaitberger, in a small well-secured barrel. In it, they eagerly read for three consecutive weeks at night about the Evangelical truth and her previous misunderstandings. Because the people concluded from her overall behavior, especially her absence from monthly confession, observance of brotherhood meetings, participation in pilgrimages, and telling a rosary, that she might have suspicious books, they waylaid her, took the book away from her, and threatened her with jail and death unless she stayed away from this heresy. At the priest’s instigation, her mother, in particular, behaved very badly. Finally God gave her the courage to leave, although she knew neither the way nor the area. A woman potter, also a secret Lutheran, referred her to her very close kinswoman in Austria; but there she was advised in confidence that she was to go to Salzburg rather than to pretend, in violation of her conscience, because here they searched very much after Evangelical people and books. Since the journeyman bricklayer had given her instructions on how to get to the Goldeck jurisdiction and, there, to a Lutheran family, she traveled there without a passport, like a poor abandoned sheep, in the name of God, who was her leader and guide, and she was well received. However, because the Evangelical people were being expelled at that time, she was summoned to appear before the authorities and was threatened that, if she stayed with these Evangelical people, she would enjoy neither God’s care nor any favor from the people in the Empire, but would die a horrible death. Nevertheless, she said that she would go with them regardless of what might happen to her. She preferred all misery and even death itself to renouncing God, her Savior, and the Evangelical truth. She did not start with good days, but with misery and death, as the bricklayer had told her earlier while assuring her of God’s help.

George Scherter, a minister of Salzburg, was apprehended and committed to prison for instructing his flock in the knowledge of the Gospel.

founding monasteries that would become in time the cities of Lumièges, Auxerre, Laon, Luxeuil, Liège, Trier, Würzburg, Regensburg, Rheinau, Reichenau, Salzburg, Vienna, Saint Gall, Bobbio, Fiesole, and Lucca, to name but a few. “The weight of the Irish influence on the continent,” admits James Westfall Thompson, “is incalculable.” Saint Fursa the Visionary went from Ireland to East Anglia, then to Lagny, just east of Paris, then to Péronne, which would be known in time as Peronna Scottorum, Péronne of the Irish and City of Fursey. Caidoc and Fricor advanced on Picardy. Virgil the Geometer, an Irish satirist, became archbishop of Salzburg. The scholar Donatus, according to his epitaph, “Scottorum sanguine creatus

Nothing happened on the trip to Berlin, Leipzig, and Hannover in March. Or on the trip to Bremen, Hamburg, and Lübeck in April. Or on the trip to Bamberg and Mannheim in May. Or Munich, Linz, and Salzburg in June. Or Dresden, Koblenz, and Stuttgart in July—although it was noteworthy, in Koblenz, that the Gnome was back to preferring one six-footer at a time.

He drew on his coat. “I am sorry, Felix. It is just that I am tired of being told I look at life too simply. It isn’t naïve to believe that good exists, that evil exists. I have known both of them. I’ve seen them. I’ve felt them. They aren’t just ideas that you can twist into neat phrases. They aren’t words to be clever with. They are too vital. We live by them. Or else we make everything meaningless.

This predilection of yours to collect wounded birds and offer your help where it isn’t always warranted or appreciated—” impatience sounded in his voice “—this will be your undoing.” “Or my salvation.

The novelist Stendhal, in his book On Love , calls this phenomenon "crystallization," telling the story of how, in Salzburg, Austria, they used to throw a leafless branch into the abandoned depths of a salt mine in the middle of winter. When the branch was pulled out months later, it would be covered with spectacular crystals. That is what happens to a loved one in our minds.

If Mozart had been born to a poor family in Bombay instead of a cultured one in Salzburg, would he have composed Symphony no. 36 in C?

So vexed was the professor that she boarded a flight to examine the current Flower portrait and later informed David Howells, the new curator of the Royal Shakespeare Company, that the painting currently on display was not the same portrait depicted in her earlier photograph. Her claim was backed by Reinhardt Altmann of the German Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation, who supplied a written report stating the current picture had to be a copy. Professor Wolfgang Speyer, an expert on Old Masters at the Dorotheum in Salzburg, added: “The picture must have been restored, or, to put it more precisely ‘repainted’… During this process everything was smoothed out on the surface but the character had been utterly lost.

Another exciting but scary adventure happened in Salzburg, Austria, where we were staying at a youth hostel named Stadtalm Naturfreundehaus. It was at the top of a mountain that surrounded the city and had the most beautiful view. It had bunk beds in the rooms and only had one bathroom that everyone shared. You had to put coins in the shower for the water to come out. It only gave you like two minutes of water. I remember calling down the hill to Willie to bring more coins. Two minutes wasn’t quite long enough. The way you got to the hostel was on an elevator through the middle of the mountain. One night, we got back to the elevator about eleven-thirty P.M., after exploring the city, only to find that the elevator closed at eleven P.M. We had no idea what to do. We certainly didn’t have enough money to get another hotel room for the night, so we went back into the town and asked around to see if there was a staircase that would get you there eventually, but it was a long walk up the mountain. We didn’t have any other choice. We walked what seemed like forever. At one point, we passed a guy in a trench coat, just sitting by himself on a bench on the trail. We were totally freaked out. Well, I was, at least. We finally got to the top about two A.M. We ended up sitting outside under the stars and talking once we got there, and we thanked God for keeping us safe. It ended up being really fun and romantic, but I was scared to death walking in a foreign city up a creepy trail in the middle of the night.

[to Samuel Urlsperger, 13 Oct 1732:] I am now directed to inform You that there has been a Conference here between the Gentlemen [Trustees] empowered by His Majesty to make a new Settlement in Georgia in South Carolina, and the Gentlemen of this Society [S.P.C.K.] concerning the most effectual Method of relieving the Distresses of the Persecuted Protestants of Saltzburg, that the Gentlemen of both Societies are of Opinion that this would best be done by Settling them in Georgia because they will there be put immediately into Possession of Land which will belong to themselves and their Posterity for ever, and will there enjoy all the Rights and Priviledges, Religious and Civil of English-born Subjects, and likewise that the Gentlemen have come to a Resolution to apply some of the Contributions which they shall receive to this Purpose if it shall be agreeable to the Poor People.

Améry’s On Suicide: A Discourse on Voluntary Death (1999) spans two events: his first and failed suicidal attempt and the second and successful one in Salzburg on October 17, 1978 (Lorenz 1991: 115). Améry wrote that the “rescue” from the first attempt was one of the “worse [acts of violence] that had ever been done” to him (1999: 79). This was partly related to the experience of being reduced by the medical personnel to the “object of rescue.

It is just that I am tired of being told I look at life too simply. It isn’t naïve to believe that good exists, that evil exists. I have known both of them. I’ve seen them. I’ve felt them. They aren’t just ideas that you can twist into neat phrases. They aren’t words to be clever with. They are too vital. We live by them. Or else we make everything meaningless.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was born in Salzburg, Austria on January 27. About eleven minutes later he was writing his own music.

At the age of 17, Mozart was hired as a court musician to the current ruler of Salzburg, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo. During his time touring as a young man, Mozart had gained quite a following among the court in his home province of Salzburg, and his appointment found him surrounded by admirers, as well as friends among the other court musicians. During his four years of employment with the court in Salzburg, Mozart had the opportunity to explore new genres of music and wrote several violin concertos (a genre he would never touch again after this period).

The early to mid-1780s were years of exponential growth for Mozart, not only in terms of his family and career but in his style and exposure as a composer and musician. He met Gottfried van Swieten, a Viennese government official who was a keen patron of musicians at this time. He gave Mozart access to his formidable library of compositions, and Mozart delved into study of the works of some famous predecessors, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. Access to the breadth of their work highly influenced many of Mozart’s works in the year to come, as he shifted to a more Baroque style in many of his compositions. This influence can most clearly be heard in his opera The Magic Flute, as well as Symphony No. 41. It was also at this time, and perhaps influenced by his study of the greats that came so recently before him, that Mozart wrote one of his greatest liturgical pieces, Mass in C minor. It was performed for the first time in 1783 when Wolfgang and Constanze traveled to Salzburg in order to visit Mozart’s father and sister.

Herr Docktor Getwin Mittelmind (PhD, MD, BFA, University of Salzburg) was a spark who specialized in mad psychology. A specialized field to be sure. He was not locked away in Castle Heterodyne because he built giant anteaters. No, he was locked away in Castle Heterodyne because he could take a perfectly ordinary group of people and within six days they would build a giant anteater—because it was the logical thing to do.

One would think that Salzburg would smell like music, but Mozart is long dead, and the notes and chords have rotted away. All that remains is the stench of indifference and blissful ignorance.
