More quotes by 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
The art of acting presupposes three phases: understanding a part, intuiting a part, and contemplating the essence of a part.
Franz Grillparzer
It is fair to despise a cowardly man, but the female sex is strongest when it's weak.
Franz Grillparzer
Recently, the Germans have developed a tendency to prefer the so-called first (youthful) style of great artists to their mature works. Could it be that they do not realize that their aesthetic criteria, generally speaking, are juvenile?
Franz Grillparzer
The course of modern learning leads from humanism via nationalism to bestiality.
Franz Grillparzer
If someone took the finest marble and knew how to shape it artfully: Prometheus' material was lowly clay, but his statues walked.
Franz Grillparzer
Do you call the jewel blind, because your eye is?
Franz Grillparzer
Since love is folly, a foolish woman is more dangerous than a wise one.
Franz Grillparzer

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
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
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
Art compares to nature like wine to the grape.
Franz Grillparzer
Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process.
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
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
If human beings are immortal, so are animals. If matter has the ability to remember, it also has the ability to think.
Franz Grillparzer
