It really is too long to quote here in full Veronica, but the passage you mention runs as follows : "He fled the world because he did not find, in the whole compass of his loving nature, a weapon with which to resist it. He withdrew from his fellow-men after he had given them everything and had received nothing in return. He remained alone because he found no second self. But until his death he preserved a human heart for all men, a father's heart for his own people, the whole world. Thus he was, thus he died, thus will he live for all time!"
For a full account try Robbins-Landon's Beethoven "A documentary study" or Thayer's life of Beethoven.
