More quotes by Heinrich Heine
He only profits from praise who values criticism.
Heinrich Heine
Thought precedes action as lighting does thunder.
Heinrich Heine
In earlier religions the spirit of the time was expressed through the individual and confirmed by miracles. In modern religions the spirit is expressed through the many and confirmed by reason.
Heinrich Heine
Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling.
Heinrich Heine
Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison.
Heinrich Heine
The spring's already at the gate With looks my care beguiling The country round appeareth straight A flower-garden smiling.
Heinrich Heine
First, I thought, almost despairing, This must crush my spirit now Yet I bore it, and am bearing- Only do not ask me how.
Heinrich Heine
In the image of the lion made He kittens small and curious.
Heinrich Heine
The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.
Heinrich Heine
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
Genius: 1. to believe your own thought. To believe that what is true for you is ultimately true. 2. a sledgehammer. 3. the fruit of labour and thought. 4. soul. 5. the ability to put into effect what is in your mind. 6. something one can become.
Heinrich Heine
Don't send a poet to London.
Heinrich Heine
Thought is invisible nature.
Heinrich Heine
If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine
Where books are burned in the end people will be burned too.
Heinrich Heine
We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged
Heinrich Heine
The stones here speak to me, and I know their mute language. Also, they seem deeply to feel what I think. So a broken column of the old Roman times, an old tower of Lombardy, a weather- beaten Gothic piece of a pillar understands me well. But I am a ruin myself, wandering among ruins.
Heinrich Heine
Reform Judaism is like mock turtle soup-turtle soup without the turtle
Heinrich Heine
Each violet peeps from its dwelling to gaze at the bright stars above.
Heinrich Heine
The nightingale appear'd the first, And as her melody she sang, The apple into blossom burst, To life the grass and violets sprang.
Heinrich Heine
