A graphologist was once shown a sample of the Arnold Schonberg'gs handwriting. "This man," he concluded, "thinks he is at least the Emperor of China." This comment was later related to Schönberg. "But," the composer wrily replied, "did he believe I was justified?"

“You may find this hard to believe, but Igor Stravinsky has actually published in the papers the statement, 'Music, to be great, must be completely cold and unemotional'! And last Sunday, I was having breakfast with Arnold Schönberg, and I said to him, 'Can you imagine that Stravinsky actually made the statement that music, to be great, must be cold and unemotional?' At this, Schönberg got furious and said, 'I said that first!'"” Unattributed quote.
