More quotes by 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
There shall be no slave in your home, male or female: Least of all the mother of your son.
Franz Grillparzer
Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at thesame time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch's biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!
Franz Grillparzer
Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it, is important when you need it.
Franz Grillparzer
A wise man can and should stand above his times, not so the poet, but he should be their apex.
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

Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
If someone took the finest marble and knew how to shape it artfully: Prometheus' material was lowly clay, but his statues walked.
Franz Grillparzer
Why do comparisons of words and tone poems (poetry and music) never take into consideration that the word is a mere signifier, but that the sound, aside from being a signifier, is also an object?
Franz Grillparzer
Man will return to his origins. Goethe has finally become as squiggly as the city of his fathers.
Franz Grillparzer
He who takes people for smart pays an expensive lesson.
Franz Grillparzer
Once you have looked at the land from atop the Kahlenberg, you will understand what I write and who I am.
Franz Grillparzer
Transcendence: that which transcends experience.
Franz Grillparzer
A love that dies has never lived.
Franz Grillparzer
If someone were to think that trees are made to support the sky, they would all seem too short.
Franz Grillparzer
Swear words and profanities are mere abbreviations of speech, similar to the abbreviations in writing.
Franz Grillparzer
There is one privilege we'll never lose currently it's called nationality. It means that everyone was born somewhere, which is infact self-evident.
Franz Grillparzer
The verdict on Prince Metternich will soon be out: An excellent diplomat and a bad politician.
