Robert Schumann
Confidence and courage are special skills to the art ... Within the four walls of his study, the artist should be modest, work diligently and conscientiously. While for the public, he'll show himself audacious, yes even into cheerful boldness. And so a new public's darling has arisen.
Robert Schumann
When young, one learns his craftsmanship, may become a young master, and it is youth that is most auspicious for developing certain skills.
Robert Schumann

Robert Schumann
The aesthetic principle is the same in every art, only the material differs.
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
In order to compose, all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of.
Robert Schumann
It is the curse of talent that, although it labors with greater steadiness and perseverance than genius, it does not reach its goal, while genius already on the summit of the ideal, gazes laughingly about.
Robert Schumann
Without enthusiasm nothing great can be effected in art.
Robert Schumann
The principal mark of genius is not perfection, but originality.
Robert Schumann
