Franz Schubert

Nobody understands another's sorrow, and nobody another's joy. ”

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. ”

Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife. ”

The moment is supreme. ”

Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief. ”

I try to decorate my imagination as much as I can. ”
