More quotes by Franz Grillparzer
The present is never poetic as it serves necessity, necessity, however, is prosaic.
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
Love wants to be confirmed with concrete symbols, but recklessness loves instability.
Franz Grillparzer
Isn't it awful that cold feet make for a cold imagination and that a pair of woollen socks induce good thoughts!
Franz Grillparzer
If someone were to think that trees are made to support the sky, they would all seem too short.
Franz Grillparzer
A love that dies has never lived.
Franz Grillparzer
As youth lives in the future, so the adult lives in the past: No one rightly knows how to live in the present.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun.
Franz Grillparzer
Transcendence: that which transcends experience.
Franz Grillparzer
The thing that pleases is not always good and, helas, the good thing does not always please.
Franz Grillparzer
Many said selfishness was the flaw of our modern age but then self-conceit emerged from a corner of the deepest hell to join selfishness.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius differs from talent not by the amount of original thoughts, but by making the latter fertile and by positioning them properly, in other words, by integrating everything into a whole, whereas talent produces only fragments, no matter how beautiful.
Franz Grillparzer
A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it, is important when you need it.
Franz Grillparzer
Ideas are not thoughts the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.
Franz Grillparzer
Man lives two lives, woe, were it otherwise! One is seized by death, the other one, his honor, remains.
Franz Grillparzer
Since love is folly, a foolish woman is more dangerous than a wise one.
Franz Grillparzer
Historical! Must it be historical to catch your attention? Even though historicity, like notoriety, denotes nothing more than thatsomething has occurred.
Franz Grillparzer
Moons and years pass by and are gone forever, but a beautiful moment shimmers through life a ray of light.
Franz Grillparzer
Piety is the fermentation of the forming mind and the putrefaction of the disintegrating one.
Franz Grillparzer
