More quotes by Heinrich Heine
Whenever books are burned, men also in the end are burned.
Heinrich Heine
Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
But a day must come when the fire of youth will be quenched in my veins, when winter will dwell in my heart, when his snow flakes will whiten my locks, and his mists will dim my eyes. Then my friends will lie in their lonely grave, and I alone will remain like a solitary stalk forgotten by the reaper.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
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
Where words leave off, music begins.
Heinrich Heine
The men of action are, after all, only the unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heinrich Heine
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
Heinrich Heine
Religion cannot sink lower than when somehow it is raised to a state religion ... It becomes then an avowed mistress.
Heinrich Heine
When'er into thine eyes I see, All pain and sorrow fly from me. [Ger., Wenn ich in deine Augen sch' So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh.]
Heinrich Heine
Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.
Heinrich Heine
Thought precedes action as lighting does thunder.
Heinrich Heine
