More quotes by Heinrich Heine
There are more fools in the world than there are people.
Heinrich Heine
The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood.
Heinrich Heine
In earlier religions the spirit of the time was expressed through the individual and confirmed by miracles. In modern religions the spirit is expressed through the many and confirmed by reason.
Heinrich Heine
There is only one writer in whom I find something that reminds me of the directness of style which is found in the Bible. It is Shakespeare.
Heinrich Heine
If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine
Our sweetest hopes rise blooming. And then again are gone, They bloom and fade alternate, And so it goes rolling on. I know it, and it troubles My life, my love, my rest, My heart is wise and witty, And it bleeds within my breast.
Heinrich Heine
As the stars are the glory of the sky, so great men are the glory of their country, yea, of the whole earth. The hearts of great men are the stars of earth and doubtless when one looks down from above upon our planet, these hearts are seen to send forth, a silvery light just like the stars of heaven.
Heinrich Heine
Human misery is too great for men to die without faith.
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
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
Heinrich Heine
You talk of our having an idea we do not have an idea. The idea has us, and martyrs us, and scourges us, and drives us into the arena to fight and die for it, whether we want to or not.
Heinrich Heine
Be entirely tolerant or not at all follow the good path or the evil one. To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess.
Heinrich Heine
No talent, but yet a character. [Ger., Kein talent, doch ein Charakter.]
Heinrich Heine
Everywhere that a great soul gives utterance to its thoughts, there also is a Golgotha.
Heinrich Heine
Twelve Dancings are dancing, and taking no rest, And closely their hands together are press'd And soon as a dance has come to a close, Another begins, and each merrily goes.
Heinrich Heine
He only profits from praise who values criticism.
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
Oh, they loved dearly: their souls kissed, they kissed with their eyes, they were both but one single kiss.
Heinrich Heine
Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
Heinrich Heine
Out of my great sorrows, I make little songs.
Heinrich Heine
