More quotes by 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
The real genres: good and bad.
Franz Grillparzer
Robespierre, this pedant of freedom!
Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
I am a woman, and even if I could proceed with harshness and rigidity, it would disgust me nonetheless.
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
The cradle of the future is the grave of the past.
Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
The course of modern learning leads from humanism via nationalism to bestiality.
Franz Grillparzer
Much as I honor the wisdom of the princess--there is something more dashing about a man.
Franz Grillparzer
There shall be no slave in your home, male or female: Least of all the mother of your son.
Franz Grillparzer
Transcendence: that which transcends experience.
Franz Grillparzer
Many said selfishness was the flaw of our modern age but then self-conceit emerged from a corner of the deepest hell to join selfishness.
Franz Grillparzer
In order to succeed in a profession, a person not only needs to have its good, but also its bad qualities. The former are the spirit, the latter is the body of the job.
Franz Grillparzer
Freedom requires guns.
Franz Grillparzer
The German mind, may it live! Almost invisible as a mind, it finally manifests itself assertively as a conviction.
Franz Grillparzer
