Franz Grillparzer
If we notice a few errors in the work of a proven master, we may and even will often be correct if we believe, however, that he is completely and utterly mistaken, we are in danger of missing his entire concept.
Franz Grillparzer
Robespierre, this pedant of freedom!
Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
Freedom requires guns.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun.
Franz Grillparzer
The office of the prince and that of the writer are defined and assigned as follows: the nobleman gives rank to the written work,the writer provides food for the prince.
Franz Grillparzer
