李斯特奇奇怪怪语录（4）
迟到的圣诞快乐，没什么可发的就给大家欣赏下冷笑话吧
没想到变成了长篇连载...
“I am not unaware how much not only the artist but art itself can appear to be a useless luxury, [and] that in several respects I am superfluous in Weimar.”
我并不是没有意识到，不仅仅艺术家，甚至艺术本身多少就是无用的奢侈，因此在某些方面，我在魏玛也是多余的。（写给魏玛大公的辞职信）
“It's difficult for me to be angry for a long time.”
我很难长时间地生气。
——评论柏辽兹
“His first name, Hector, did not bring him good fortune,”
他的前名Hector，丝毫没有给他带来好运。
——对于批评家的批评
“Critics! If one would be a critic, one should begin with self-criticism!”
如果一个人想做批评家，应该先从自我批评开始！
“You will not hear it played better anywhere,” Liszt joked, “not even at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. You see, we provincials are conceited people!”
“你不会在别处听到比这更好的演奏了，哪怕是在莱比锡”“你看，我们省都是自负的人！”
At first Liszt dealt with the problem tongue-in-cheek, telling his friends with a wink and a nod that criticism of him must be true because it was in the newspapers. He jokingly referred to himself as “that notorious non-composer Franz Liszt.”
（自嘲自己是）“那个臭名昭著的非作曲家”弗朗茨·李斯特
（由于他在魏玛剧院上演的各种“新音乐”和“实验作品”招致了很多来自保守派的批评）
