More quotes by Franz Grillparzer
I understand the phrase Honor the Women all too well: the poet has probably a wife of his own, but he prefers to honor another.
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
Isn't it awful that cold feet make for a cold imagination and that a pair of woollen socks induce good thoughts!
Franz Grillparzer
Boundless in your charity, but shrewd and cautious as a lender, you delight all those today whom you made beggars the day before.
Franz Grillparzer
Schiller moves upward. Goethe comes from up above.
Franz Grillparzer
It is fair to despise a cowardly man, but the female sex is strongest when it's weak.
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
I notice well that one stray step from the habitual path leads irresistibly into a new direction. Life moves forward, it never reverses its course.
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
The likeness of the world? A shadow! And world's glory? A dream!
Franz Grillparzer
Soon there will be nothing truly profound that is not achieved by everyone, and of the difficult things in this world only one will be left: simplicity.
Franz Grillparzer
What raises great poetry above all else--it is the entire person and also the entire world.
Franz Grillparzer
Much as I honor the wisdom of the princess--there is something more dashing about a man.
Franz Grillparzer
Ideas are not thoughts the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.
Franz Grillparzer
What is done for the children is doubly beneficial, since their success, obvious to everyone, educates the parents as well.
Franz Grillparzer
There shall be no slave in your home, male or female: Least of all the mother of your son.
Franz Grillparzer
Only by himself, with one acre and a house, will a dunce be a dunce. Once he manages to gain power, he'll turn into a scoundrel.
Franz Grillparzer
It's actually the spirit helping the spirit it is the doctor, the bed, the potion.
Franz Grillparzer
Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process.
Franz Grillparzer
