More quotes by Heinrich Heine
On the waves of the brook she dances by, The light, the lovely dragon-fly She dances here, she dances there, The shimmering, glimmering flutterer fair. And many a foolish young beetle's impressed By the blue gauze gown in which she is dressed They admire the enamel that decks her bright, And her elegant waist so slim and slight.
Heinrich Heine
He is noble who both feels and acts nobly.
Heinrich Heine
Ask me not what I have, but what I am.
Heinrich Heine
It is an ancient story Yet is it ever new.
Heinrich Heine
I have never seen an ass who talked like a human being, but I have met many human beings who talked like asses.

Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Atheism is the last word of theism
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Oh fair, oh sweet and holy as dew at morning tide, I gaze on thee, and yearnings, sad in my bosom hide.
Heinrich Heine
The eyes of spring, so azure, Are peeping from the ground They are the darling violets, That I in nosegays bound.
Heinrich Heine
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
Heinrich Heine
Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too.
Heinrich Heine
It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to it all.
Heinrich Heine
Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle. For it stands halfway between thought and phenomenon, between spirit and matter.
Heinrich Heine
Poverty sits by the cradle of all our great men and rocks all of them to manhood.
Heinrich Heine
Everywhere that a great soul gives utterance to its thoughts, there also is a Golgotha.
Heinrich Heine
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
Heinrich Heine
