Franz Grillparzer
Robespierre, this pedant of freedom!
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
Bunglers and pedants judge art according to genre they approve of this and dismiss that genre, but instead of genres, the open-minded connoisseur appreciates only individual works.
Franz Grillparzer
