More quotes by Heinrich Heine
He that marries is like the dogs who was married to the Adriatic. He knows not what there is in that which he marries mayhap treasures and pearls, mayhap monsters and tempests, await him.
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
Reason exercises merely the function of preserving order, is, so to say, the police in the region of art. In life it is mostly a cold arithmetician summing up our follies.
Heinrich Heine
There is no Sixth Commandment in art. The poet is entitled to lay his hands on whatever material he finds necessary for his work.
Heinrich Heine
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
Heinrich Heine
I fell asleep reading a dull book and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom.
Heinrich Heine
Tell me who first did kisses suggest? It was a mouth all glowing and blest It kissed and it thought of nothing beside. The fair month of May was then in its pride, The flowers were all from the earth fast springing, The sun was laughing, the birds were singing.
Heinrich Heine
In the image of the lion made He kittens small and curious.
Heinrich Heine
True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
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
God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine
Where words leave off, music begins.
Heinrich Heine
The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.
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
The cloudlets are lazily sailing O'er the blue Atlantic sea And mid the twilight there hovers A shadowy figure o'er me.
Heinrich Heine
The foolish race of mankind are swarming below in the night they shriek and rage and quarrel - and all of them are right.
Heinrich Heine
God will pardon me. It is His trade.
Heinrich Heine
The arrow belongs not to the archer when it has once left the bow the word no longer belongs to the speaker when it has once passed his lips, especially when it has been multiplied by the press.
Heinrich Heine
Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too.
Heinrich Heine
The Bible is the great family chronicle of the Jews.
Heinrich Heine
