Giacomo Meyerbeer

“Please accept a promise from me in his name that I will always live in the religion in which he died.”

“Preserve my artistic creativity and ennoble my artistic fame.”

“May God be with me! May Heaven bless this New Year. May it be a year of fruitfulness, of peace and prosperity; may it be a year of peace and unity for all mankind; may the world be freed of cholera.”
