Franz Grillparzer
Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.
Franz Grillparzer
This searching and doubting and vacillating where nothing is clear but the arrogance of quest. I, too, had such noble ideas when I was still a boy.
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
Do not push so fast ahead, do slow down a bit! Otherwise you won't catch up with yourselves.
Franz Grillparzer

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
Swear words and profanities are mere abbreviations of speech, similar to the abbreviations in writing.
Franz Grillparzer
Historical! Must it be historical to catch your attention? Even though historicity, like notoriety, denotes nothing more than thatsomething has occurred.
Franz Grillparzer
Genius differs from talent not by the amount of original thoughts, but by making the latter fertile and by positioning them properly, in other words, by integrating everything into a whole, whereas talent produces only fragments, no matter how beautiful.
Franz Grillparzer
The Germans believe that, no matter where, they can get by on knowledge alone. Art, however, requires skill.
Franz Grillparzer
I notice well that one stray step from the habitual path leads irresistibly into a new direction. Life moves forward, it never reverses its course.
Franz Grillparzer
Art compares to nature like wine to the grape.
