More quotes by Franz Grillparzer
I've never been on good terms with God, but now I'm becoming His intimate, for He is truly absolute and extremely legitimate.
Franz Grillparzer
As far as the arts and the sciences are concerned, the German mind appreciates most highly that which it does not understand of the latter, and that which it does not enjoy of the former.
Franz Grillparzer
If we notice a few errors in the work of a proven master, we may and even will often be correct if we believe, however, that he is completely and utterly mistaken, we are in danger of missing his entire concept.
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

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
It is the emotions to which one objects in Germany most of all.
Franz Grillparzer
Progress will always have as its recourse to exaggerate what it cannot surpass.
Franz Grillparzer
The courts used to be, fair and square, the avengers of secular crimes but nowadays they demand respect even for the criminal.
Franz Grillparzer
The spirit of poetry combines the profundity of the philosopher and the child's delight in bright pictures.
Franz Grillparzer
Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it, is important when you need it.
Franz Grillparzer
Jealousy is a grievous passion that jealously seeks what causes grief.
Franz Grillparzer
A book is quite a beautiful thing, even more so learning. Together, however, all they amount to is called book-learning.
Franz Grillparzer
Schiller moves upward. Goethe comes from up above.
Franz Grillparzer
It's actually the spirit helping the spirit it is the doctor, the bed, the potion.
Franz Grillparzer
