Franz Grillparzer
Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at thesame time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch's biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!
Franz Grillparzer
It's actually the spirit helping the spirit it is the doctor, the bed, the potion.
Franz Grillparzer
Why must ancients, and provided the same talent, be better than modern authors? Free to exploit the vast realm of the simpleand the natural, they did not have to be artificial in order to be original (which every artist aspires to be).
Franz Grillparzer
If human beings are immortal, so are animals. If matter has the ability to remember, it also has the ability to think.
Franz Grillparzer
Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.
