More quotes by Heinrich Heine
There is one thing on earth more terrible than English music, and that is English painting.
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
The spring's already at the gate With looks my care beguiling The country round appeareth straight A flower-garden smiling.
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
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
Heinrich Heine
God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine
I fell asleep reading a dull book and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom.
Heinrich Heine
We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged
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
In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.
Heinrich Heine
Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you. Oh, what lies there are in kisses!
Heinrich Heine
The negro king desired to be portrayed as white. But do not laugh at the poor African for every man is but another negro king, and would like to appear in a color different from that with which Fate has bedaubed him.
Heinrich Heine
Out of my own great woe I make my little songs.
Heinrich Heine
Ask me not what I have, but what I am.
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
Lyrical poetry is much the same an every age, as the songs of the nightingales in every spring-time.
Heinrich Heine
Christianity is an idea, and as such is indestructible and immortal, like every idea.
Heinrich Heine
What lies lurk in kisses.
Heinrich Heine
Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle.
Heinrich Heine
If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.
Heinrich Heine
