More quotes by Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Whenever books are burned, men also in the end are burned.
Heinrich Heine

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
The spring's already at the gate With looks my care beguiling The country round appeareth straight A flower-garden smiling.

Heinrich Heine
Poverty sits by the cradle of all our great men and rocks all of them to manhood.
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
He who fights with priests may make up his mind to have his poor good name torn and befouled by the most infamous lies and the most cutting slanders.
Heinrich Heine
Lyrical poetry is much the same an every age, as the songs of the nightingales in every spring-time.
