More quotes by Franz Grillparzer
The ideas of an age are most abundant where they are not crowded by original ideas.
Franz Grillparzer
No spoon has yet destroyed a mouth, but the knife of war cuts portions that are hard to swallow. Perhaps the big mouths of the privileged are able to cope with them, but they dull the teeth of the little people and ruin their stomachs.
Franz Grillparzer
Do not push so fast ahead, do slow down a bit! Otherwise you won't catch up with yourselves.
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
Austrian soldiers are like horses: brave but easily frightened.
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
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
Robespierre, this pedant of freedom!
Franz Grillparzer
What is done for the children is doubly beneficial, since their success, obvious to everyone, educates the parents as well.
Franz Grillparzer
German radicalism: freedom-masturbation.
Franz Grillparzer
A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
The character of the crowds is made up of mimicry and hostility.
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
The real genres: good and bad.
Franz Grillparzer
Drive the women from the bed just as you drove them from the choir a eunuch sings in Rome, and the priests masturbate.
Franz Grillparzer
A love that dies has never lived.
Franz Grillparzer
Since love is folly, a foolish woman is more dangerous than a wise one.
Franz Grillparzer
Erroneous views and presumptuousness send a talent to the insane asylum.
Franz Grillparzer
This searching and doubting and vacillating where nothing is clear but the arrogance of quest. I, too, had such noble ideas when I was still a boy.
Franz Grillparzer
