More quotes by Franz Grillparzer
A love that dies has never lived.
Franz Grillparzer
If only it were God's will that printed and written materials have as much influence on the people as the princes and their censors fear! Considering the countless good books we have, the world would have changed for the better a long time ago.
Franz Grillparzer
A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
Piety is the fermentation of the forming mind and the putrefaction of the disintegrating one.
Franz Grillparzer
Austrian soldiers are like horses: brave but easily frightened.
Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
In Germany, a certain artistic sense is fairly common, but the artist's sense is foreign there.
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
When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet's task to turn it into an audience.
Franz Grillparzer
The old harlot, German philosophy, has finally turned into a church lady.
Franz Grillparzer
The likeness of the world? A shadow! And world's glory? A dream!
Franz Grillparzer
Servants honor their master by their service.
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
German radicalism: freedom-masturbation.
