Franz Grillparzer
Soon there will be nothing truly profound that is not achieved by everyone, and of the difficult things in this world only one will be left: simplicity.
Franz Grillparzer
Is it true that one travels in order to know mankind? It is easier to get to know other people at home, but abroad one gets to know oneself.
Franz Grillparzer
Someone who is reluctant to say what he needs to say, often ends up doing so with an insolence whose crassness is proportionate tohis fear, once he gathers the necessary courage.
Franz Grillparzer
Bunglers and pedants judge art according to genre they approve of this and dismiss that genre, but instead of genres, the open-minded connoisseur appreciates only individual works.
Franz Grillparzer
