Franz Grillparzer
The Germans believe that, no matter where, they can get by on knowledge alone. Art, however, requires skill.
Franz Grillparzer
Since love is folly, a foolish woman is more dangerous than a wise one.

Transcendence: that which transcends experience.
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
I notice well that one stray step from the habitual path leads irresistibly into a new direction. Life moves forward, it never reverses its course.
