Franz Grillparzer
Art compares to nature like wine to the grape.
Franz Grillparzer
German radicalism: freedom-masturbation.
Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
Praised be the good willing women who understand and take part in the fun--the body is an exacting beater, and even the heart is made of flesh.
Franz Grillparzer
If human beings are immortal, so are animals. If matter has the ability to remember, it also has the ability to think.
Franz Grillparzer
It is fair to despise a cowardly man, but the female sex is strongest when it's weak.
Franz Grillparzer
Freedom requires guns.
Franz Grillparzer
A cure by regression is homeopathic, like healing the damage done by ministers and ignorance with stupidity and Jesuits.
Franz Grillparzer
Is it true that one travels in order to know mankind? It is easier to get to know other people at home, but abroad one gets to know oneself.
Franz Grillparzer
A flutist who is moved to tears by his own performance will soon make the listeners laugh because of the sounds that he produces.
