"The whole world is against me. The Catholics, because they find my music too worldly, the Protestants, because they find my music too Catholic, the Freemasons, because they think it's too clerical; for the Conservatives I am a revolutionary, for the futurists I am a false Jacobin. For the Germans my music is too French, for the French it's too German, the Austrians call it gypsy music, the Hungarians call it foreign. And the Jews despise me and my music without any reason."
Franz Liszt
