More quotes by 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
Human life, old and young, takes place between hope and remembrance. The young man sees all the gates to his desires open, and the old man remembers--his hopes.
Franz Grillparzer
Do you call the jewel blind, because your eye is?
Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
The ideas of an age are most abundant where they are not crowded by original ideas.
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
Man will return to his origins. Goethe has finally become as squiggly as the city of his fathers.
Franz Grillparzer
It is not a matter of desire, but of coercion and duty.
Franz Grillparzer
You can make the best of it and be content, or you can complain, it makes no difference. What does it matter that human beings judge the things that exist?
Franz Grillparzer
The art of acting presupposes three phases: understanding a part, intuiting a part, and contemplating the essence of a part.
Franz Grillparzer
The thing that pleases is not always good and, helas, the good thing does not always please.
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
The real genres: good and bad.
