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.
Franz Grillparzer
The main reason why men and women make different aesthetic judgments is the fact that the latter, generally incapable of abstraction, only admire what meets their complete approval.
Franz Grillparzer
A love that dies has never lived.
Franz Grillparzer
Someone who is reluctant to say what he needs to say, often ends up doing so with an insolence whose crassness is proportionate tohis fear, once he gathers the necessary courage.
Franz Grillparzer
Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it, is important when you need it.
Franz Grillparzer
