Robert Schumann
In order to compose, all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of.

I feel so entirely in my element with a full orchestra even if my mortal enemies were marshalled before me, I could lead them, master them, surround them, or repulse them.
Robert Schumann
Without enthusiasm nothing great can be effected in art.
Robert Schumann
Music induces nightingales to sing, pug dogs to yelp.
Robert Schumann
My heart pounds sickeningly and I turn pale... I often feel as if I were dead... I seem to be losing my mind.

I was a God-fearing child, innocent and physically attractive.
Robert Schumann
