Franz Grillparzer
Image
The cradle of the future is the grave of the past.
Franz Grillparzer
Image
If human beings are immortal, so are animals. If matter has the ability to remember, it also has the ability to think.
Franz Grillparzer
Image
Mozart starved, but you allow Thalberg and Liszt make tons of gold: Of course, you may think that someone immortal cannot die of hunger
