Heinrich Heine
The men of action are, after all, only the unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Where words leave off, music begins.
Heinrich Heine
Every age thinks its battle the most important of all.
Heinrich Heine
I consider it a degradation and a stain on my honor to submit to baptism in order to qualify myself for state employment in Prussia.
Heinrich Heine
There is one thing on earth more terrible than English music, and that is English painting.
Heinrich Heine
