More quotes by Franz Grillparzer
Do old people always live in the past? What yesterday was firm and true, may not be so today.
Franz Grillparzer
Someone who is reluctant to say what he needs to say, often ends up doing so with an insolence whose crassness is proportionate tohis fear, once he gathers the necessary courage.
Franz Grillparzer
Schiller moves upward. Goethe comes from up above.
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
Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun.
Franz Grillparzer
A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
I am a woman, and even if I could proceed with harshness and rigidity, it would disgust me nonetheless.
Franz Grillparzer
It is not a matter of desire, but of coercion and duty.
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
Moons and years pass by and are gone forever, but a beautiful moment shimmers through life a ray of light.
Franz Grillparzer
You can make the best of it and be content, or you can complain, it makes no difference. What does it matter that human beings judge the things that exist?
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
The character of the crowds is made up of mimicry and hostility.
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
The manifestation of poetry in external life is formal perfection. True sentiment grows within, and art must represent internal phenomena externally.
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
The main reason why men and women make different aesthetic judgments is the fact that the latter, generally incapable of abstraction, only admire what meets their complete approval.
Franz Grillparzer
There is one privilege we'll never lose currently it's called nationality. It means that everyone was born somewhere, which is infact self-evident.
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
Do hurry and proclaim the concordat. Then castrate yourselves to keep from sinning.
Franz Grillparzer
