“A journey like this is no joke, you’ve no experience of this sort of thing, you need to have more important things on your mind than foolish games. You have to try and anticipate a hundred different things, otherwise you’ll suddenly find yourself in the shit without any money-and where you have no money you’ll have no friends either, even if you give a hundred lessons for nothing, and even if you write sonatas and spend every night fooling around from 10 till 12 instead of devoting your self to more important matters .”
