More quotes by Franz Grillparzer
Piety is the fermentation of the forming mind and the putrefaction of the disintegrating one.
Franz Grillparzer
My anger thought you too ignoble for my love, and close examination finds you too magnificent, and only equals are joined together smoothly.
Franz Grillparzer
I know how ingratitude burns, how falsehood tortures, for I have been deceived in friendship and in love I have learned to lose and to resign myself.
Franz Grillparzer
Is it true that one travels in order to know mankind? It is easier to get to know other people at home, but abroad one gets to know oneself.
Franz Grillparzer
When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet's task to turn it into an audience.
Franz Grillparzer
Only by himself, with one acre and a house, will a dunce be a dunce. Once he manages to gain power, he'll turn into a scoundrel.
Franz Grillparzer
A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
Praised be the good willing women who understand and take part in the fun--the body is an exacting beater, and even the heart is made of flesh.
Franz Grillparzer
In Germany, a certain artistic sense is fairly common, but the artist's sense is foreign there.
Franz Grillparzer
Gold is the gift of vanity and common pride, but flowers are the gift of love and friendship.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun.
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
A book is quite a beautiful thing, even more so learning. Together, however, all they amount to is called book-learning.
Franz Grillparzer
I look around me and nowhere do I see a stamp of disapproval with which nature marked a woman's candid brow.
Franz Grillparzer
Grief, first take on shape! what is shapeless causes fear and torment but when the enemy materializes, half the victory is won.
Franz Grillparzer
Servants honor their master by their service.
Franz Grillparzer
Gratitude is a fickle thing, indeed. A person taking aim presses the weapon to his chest and cheek, but when he hits, he discardsit with indifference.
Franz Grillparzer
Do hurry and proclaim the concordat. Then castrate yourselves to keep from sinning.
Franz Grillparzer
It is not a matter of desire, but of coercion and duty.
Franz Grillparzer
As far as the arts and the sciences are concerned, the German mind appreciates most highly that which it does not understand of the latter, and that which it does not enjoy of the former.
Franz Grillparzer
