More quotes by Franz Schubert
O Mozart, immortal Mozart, how many, how infinitely many inspiring suggestions of a finer, better life you have left in our souls!
Franz Schubert
Approval or blame will follow in the world to come.
Franz Schubert
There is no such thing as happy music.
Franz Schubert
No one feels another's grief.
Franz Schubert
My compositions spring from my sorrows. Those that give the world the greatest delight were born of my deepest griefs.
Franz Schubert
You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves.
Franz Schubert
The world resembles a stage on which every man is playing a part.
Franz Schubert
It sometimes seems to me as if I do not belong to this world at all. I deplore music that engenders in people not love but madness: which rouses them to scornful laughter instead of lifting their thoughts to God.
Franz Schubert
Easy mind, light heart. A mind that is too easy hides a heart that is too heavy.
Franz Schubert
When I wished to sing of love, it turned to sorrow. And when I wished to sing of sorrow, it was transformed for me into love.
Franz Schubert
What a picture of a better world you have given us, Mozart!
Franz Schubert
I try to decorate my imagination as much as I can.
Franz Schubert
Love is in the air these days, so we thought we'd give a try to make your day a little brighter.
Franz Schubert
Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief.
Franz Schubert
Why should the composer be more guilty than the poet who warms to fantasy by a strange flame, making an idea that inspires him the subject of his own very different treatment?
Franz Schubert
Nobody understands another's sorrow, and nobody another's joy.
Franz Schubert
I want you for always...days, years, eternities.
Franz Schubert
Anyone who loves music can never be quite unhappy.
Franz Schubert
Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.
Franz Schubert
Who can do anything after Beethoven?
Franz Schubert
