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
Critics are reprimanded when they get sarcastic. How absurd! Is the torch of criticism supposed to shine without burning?
Franz Grillparzer
Woman is the crown of all creation, but Man is the head who wears it, and even the servant is master in his house.
Franz Grillparzer
Art compares to nature like wine to the grape.
Franz Grillparzer
