Matrimony the high sea for which no compass has yet been invented.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Lyrical poetry is much the same an every age, as the songs of the nightingales in every spring-time.
Heinrich Heine

Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
Heinrich Heine
Image
I do not know if she was virtuous, but she was ugly, and with a woman that is half the battle.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Reason exercises merely the function of preserving order, is, so to say, the police in the region of art. In life it is mostly a cold arithmetician summing up our follies.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to it all.
Heinrich Heine
Image
I call'd the devil, and he came, And with wonder his form did I closely scan He is not ugly, and is not lame, But really a handsome and charming man. A man in the prime of life is the devil, Obliging, a man of the world, and civil A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate, He talks quite glibly of church and state.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.
Heinrich Heine
Image
While we are indifferent to our good qualities, we keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our faults, until we come to look on them as virtues.
Heinrich Heine
Image
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Lo, sleep is good, better is death--in sooth The best of all were never to be born.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Jews who long have drifted from the faith of their fathers... are stirred in their inmost parts when the old, familiar Passover sounds chance to fall upon their ears.
Heinrich Heine

Thought is invisible nature.
