More quotes by Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer

A love that dies has never lived.
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

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
Do you call the jewel blind, because your eye is?
Franz Grillparzer
The manifestation of poetry in external life is formal perfection. True sentiment grows within, and art must represent internal phenomena externally.
Franz Grillparzer
Swear words and profanities are mere abbreviations of speech, similar to the abbreviations in writing.
Franz Grillparzer
The thing that pleases is not always good and, helas, the good thing does not always please.
Franz Grillparzer
Freedom requires guns.
