Grillparzer

Famous quotes containing the word grillparzer:

    What is the use of aesthetics if they can neither teach how to produce beauty nor how to appreciate it in good taste?

    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Moons and years pass by and are gone forever, but a beautiful moment shimmers through life a ray of light.
