"Too easy for children, too difficult for adults" is the way I remember that line, though your version works just as well. Funny, a quick google search, which is definitive scholarly research (not), shows an attribution to Schnabel himself.
It's just too easy to put great lines and famous people together. Even Yogi Berra had to concede (and he actually did say this, I saw him interviewed), "I never really said most of the things I said."
