Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
A wise man can and should stand above his times, not so the poet, but he should be their apex.
Franz Grillparzer
A love that dies has never lived.
Franz Grillparzer
It is not a matter of desire, but of coercion and duty.
Franz Grillparzer
You can make the best of it and be content, or you can complain, it makes no difference. What does it matter that human beings judge the things that exist?
Franz Grillparzer
Human life, old and young, takes place between hope and remembrance. The young man sees all the gates to his desires open, and the old man remembers--his hopes.
Franz Grillparzer
