Franz Grillparzer
Mozart starved, but you allow Thalberg and Liszt make tons of gold: Of course, you may think that someone immortal cannot die of hunger
Franz Grillparzer
A love that dies has never lived.
Franz Grillparzer
The character of the crowds is made up of mimicry and hostility.
Franz Grillparzer
What raises great poetry above all else--it is the entire person and also the entire world.
Franz Grillparzer
The courts used to be, fair and square, the avengers of secular crimes but nowadays they demand respect even for the criminal.
