I never force myself to be devout except when I feel so inspired, and never compose hymns of prayers unless I feel within me real and true devotion.
Franz SchubertNo one understands another's grief, no one understands another's joy... My music is the product of my talent and my misery. And that which I have written in my greatest distress is what the world seems to like best.
Franz SchubertIf only your pure and clean mind could touch me, dear Haydn, nobody has a greater reverence for you than I have.
Franz Schubert
