A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
How can you say that love is blind? Keener than a young eagle's is its sight.
Franz Grillparzer
I notice well that one stray step from the habitual path leads irresistibly into a new direction. Life moves forward, it never reverses its course.

Franz Grillparzer
It is fair to despise a cowardly man, but the female sex is strongest when it's weak.
Franz Grillparzer
Trousers and the reputation of not being a thief are similar in the following way: There is no particular honor in having them butonce they are lost, everyone thinks they have the right to insult us.
Franz Grillparzer
How frightening it is to have reached the height of human accomplishment in art that must forever borrow from life's abundance.
Franz Grillparzer
The course of modern learning leads from humanism via nationalism to bestiality.
Franz Grillparzer
Mozart starved, but you allow Thalberg and Liszt make tons of gold: Of course, you may think that someone immortal cannot die of hunger
Franz Grillparzer
In order to succeed in a profession, a person not only needs to have its good, but also its bad qualities. The former are the spirit, the latter is the body of the job.
Franz Grillparzer
A flutist who is moved to tears by his own performance will soon make the listeners laugh because of the sounds that he produces.
Franz Grillparzer
