More From Franz Grillparzer
- "To declaim freedom verses seems like a poem within a poem; freedom requires guns, it requires arms, but no feet."
- "Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it, is important when you need it."
- "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."
