Franz Grillparzer Accomplishment Quotations

Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock asnot going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch's greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.

How frightening it is to have reached the height of human accomplishment in art that must forever borrow from life's abundance.
