Franz Grillparzer
It is not a matter of desire, but of coercion and duty.
Franz Grillparzer
A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he candivide.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius resembles a bell in order to ring it must be suspended into pure air, and when a foreign body touches it, its joyful toneis silenced.
Franz Grillparzer
Art compares to nature like wine to the grape.
Franz Grillparzer
