A Quote by Franz Grillparzer

Drive the women from the bed just as you drove them from the choir; a eunuch sings in Rome, and the priests masturbate. — © Franz Grillparzer
Drive the women from the bed just as you drove them from the choir; a eunuch sings in Rome, and the priests masturbate.
If the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them out as traitors.
And I've teamed up with a choir from home. They're called the Gori Women's Choir. They're a 23-piece all-female choir, and they've been going since the '70s.
We know that more than seventy to eighty percent of women masturbate, and ninety percent of men masturbate, and the rest lie.
For me, it's a great joy to be together with priests: in the end, the bishop of Rome is the bishop and brother of all priests. His mandate is to confirm the brothers in the faith.
I think art is sublimated libido. You can’t be a eunuch priest, and you can’t be a eunuch artist.
A critic is a eunuch working in a harem. He watches it, but he knows he can't do it. Critics very often are failed writers and, like failed priests, they hate religion.
One who sings with his tongue on fire, gargles in the rat race choir.
An individual voice can be heard in a choir that otherwise sings in unison. This is something that is not excused.
If you cannot see that divinity includes male and female characteristics and at the same time transcends them, you have bad consequences. Rome and Cardinal O'Connor base the exclusion of women priests on the idea that God is the Father and Jesus is His Son, there were only male disciples, etc. They are defending a patriarchal Church with a patriarchal God. We must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of God.
Being a screenwriter in Hollywood is like being a eunuch at an orgy. Worse, actually, at least the eunuch is allowed to watch.
When I got married, I hired a great choir - the St. James Choir, an all-black gospel choir - to sing at my wedding.
The nations of the Middle East will have to decide what kind of future they want for themselves for their country and, frankly, for their families and for their children. It's a choice between two futures, and it is a choice America cannot make for you. A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists. Drive them out. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your Holy Land. And drive them out of this earth.
Everybody in my family sings. We were either in a choir, or there was something going on at home where we were singing.
Women priests. Great, great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to.
I'd get off the set of 'The Wire' at 3 A.M. or even 4 A.M. and drive home to Washington to see my kids sleep and give them a kiss. I'd get up at 7 A.M., while the kids were still in bed, and drive back to Baltimore.
We'll go on vacation, but we don't really care to go see Rome or anything. We just want to play dominoes. We like the fact that we can say, 'Oh, we went to Rome.' 'Well, what'd you do in Rome?' 'Played dominoes'.
