The flame that is naturally clear always gives the most light and heat. If I could blend my talent for poetry and music into one, the light would burn still clearer, and I might go far.

More quotes by Robert Schumann
Music induces nightingales to sing, pug dogs to yelp.
Robert Schumann
That first concept is alway the most naturally and best. The mind errs, the emotion never.
Robert Schumann
Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.
Robert Schumann
Can that which has cost the artist days, weeks, months and even years of reflection be understood in a flash by a dilettante?
Robert Schumann
For me, music is always the language which permits one to converse with the Beyond.
Robert Schumann
We shouldn't repeat the same for ages on end, but look into the new as well.
Robert Schumann
I was a God-fearing child, innocent and physically attractive.
Robert Schumann
The aesthetic principle is the same in every art, only the material differs.
Robert Schumann
From a pound of iron, that costs little, a thousand watch-springs can be made, whose value becomes prodigious. The pound you have received from the Lord,--use it faithfully.
Robert Schumann
Without enthusiasm nothing great can be effected in art.
Robert Schumann
People compose for many reasons, to become immortal because the piano happens to be open because they want to become a millionaire because of the praise of friends because they have looked into a pair of beautiful eyes or for no reason whatsoever.
Robert Schumann
Send light to the dark hearts of men, that is the duty the artist.
Robert Schumann
Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art.
Robert Schumann
In order to compose, all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of.
Robert Schumann
My symphonies would have reached Opus 100 if I had but written them down... Sometimes I am so full of music, and so overflowing with melody, that I find it simply impossible to write down anything.
Robert Schumann
You write to become immortal, or because the piano happens to be open, or you've looked into a pair of beautiful eyes.
Robert Schumann
We liked it or I didn't like it people say. As if it were nothing higher than to please the people!
Robert Schumann
Endeavour to play easy pieces well and with elegance that is better than to play difficult pieces badly.
Robert Schumann
Art was not created as a way to riches. Strive to become a true artist all else will take care of itself.
Robert Schumann
When you play, do not trouble yourself as to who is listening. Yet always play as though a master listened to you.
Robert Schumann
