Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius differs from talent not by the amount of original thoughts, but by making the latter fertile and by positioning them properly, in other words, by integrating everything into a whole, whereas talent produces only fragments, no matter how beautiful.
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.

Piety is the fermentation of the forming mind and the putrefaction of the disintegrating one.
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
A cure by regression is homeopathic, like healing the damage done by ministers and ignorance with stupidity and Jesuits.
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
Freedom requires guns.
Franz Grillparzer
The old harlot, German philosophy, has finally turned into a church lady.
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
