An evil fate has deprived me of the full use of my right hand, so that i am not able to play my compositions as i feel them. the trouble with my hand is that certain fingers have become so weak, probably through writing and playing too much at one time, that i can hardly use them.

More From Robert Schumann

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

Life is getting through the moment. the philosopher william james says to cultivate the cheerful attitude. now nobody had more trouble than he did -- except me. i had more trouble in my life than anybody. but your first big trouble can be a bonanza if you live through it. get through the first trouble, you'll probably make it through the next one.

There is relationship between sight and touch, something about eyes being able to see through the fingers touching the clay, about fingers being able to feel what the eyes are seeing without the fingers actually touching it.
