Franz Grillparzer
I've never been on good terms with God, but now I'm becoming His intimate, for He is truly absolute and extremely legitimate.
Franz Grillparzer
There shall be no slave in your home, male or female: Least of all the mother of your son.
Franz Grillparzer
Although your knowledge is weak and small, you need not be silent: since you cannot be judges be at least witnesses.
Franz Grillparzer
It's actually the spirit helping the spirit it is the doctor, the bed, the potion.
Franz Grillparzer
In early times, before the floods swept across the world, there was life, albeit odd, as one can see from the fossils of mammoth bones, and there was the regime of Prince Metternich.
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
What raises great poetry above all else--it is the entire person and also the entire world.
Franz Grillparzer
