More quotes by Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Every age thinks its battle the most important of all.
Heinrich Heine
What lies lurk in kisses.
Heinrich Heine
Christ rode on an ass, but now asses ride on Christ.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
The butterfly long loved the beautiful rose, And flirted around all day While round him in turn with her golden caress, Soft fluttered the sun's warm ray.... I know not with whom the rose was in love, But I know that I loved them all. The butterfly, rose, and the sun's bright ray, The star and the bird's sweet call.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Lyrical poetry is much the same an every age, as the songs of the nightingales in every spring-time.
Heinrich Heine
The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood.
Heinrich Heine
Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
Heinrich Heine
In vain would I seek to discover Why sad and mournful am I, My thoughts without ceasing brood over A tale of the time gone by.
Heinrich Heine
The Bible is the great family chronicle of the Jews.
Heinrich Heine
God will pardon: That's His business.
Heinrich Heine
