Franz Grillparzer
Human life, old and young, takes place between hope and remembrance. The young man sees all the gates to his desires open, and the old man remembers--his hopes.
Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer
Since love is folly, a foolish woman is more dangerous than a wise one.
Franz Grillparzer
What a pathetic creature is man! His senses are awakened by the hope for the very thing whose consummation puts him to sleep.
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
The military and the clergy cause us much annoyance the clergy and the military, they empty our wallets and rob our intelligence.
Franz Grillparzer
A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
Jealousy is a grievous passion that jealously seeks what causes grief.
Franz Grillparzer
