There doesn't seem to be a lot of his quotes online, on my cursory overview. Is there anything in particular I should check out?

For some reason, the Brahms "Snark" hasn't pervaded internet quote sites.

"Life and Works: Johannes Brahms" by Jeremy Siepmann is a good source for quotes. I have it on audiobook.

He's the kind of guy who would receive an honorary doctorate, and as a "thank you", wrote an overture filled with school drinking songs.

the finale is "Gaudeamus igitur"

    Let us rejoice, therefore,

    While we are young.

    After a pleasant youth

    After a troubling old age

    The earth will have us.
