Franz Grillparzer
I am a woman, and even if I could proceed with harshness and rigidity, it would disgust me nonetheless.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun.
Franz Grillparzer
Erroneous views and presumptuousness send a talent to the insane asylum.
Franz Grillparzer

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
I know how ingratitude burns, how falsehood tortures, for I have been deceived in friendship and in love I have learned to lose and to resign myself.
Franz Grillparzer
Since people no longer attend church, theater remains as the only public service, and literature as the only private devotion.
Franz Grillparzer
Our age believed herself pregnant with auspicious progeny, but when her hour came, it turned out to be dropsy.
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
The Germans believe that, no matter where, they can get by on knowledge alone. Art, however, requires skill.
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
The ideas of an age are most abundant where they are not crowded by original ideas.
Franz Grillparzer
