Like a great poet, Nature produces the greatest results with the simplest means. These are simply a sun, trees, flowers, water and love.
Heinrich Heine
Image
In the image of the lion made He kittens small and curious.
Heinrich Heine
Image
And over the pond are sailing Two swans all white as snow Sweet voices mysteriously wailing Pierce through me as onward they go. They sail along, and a ringing Sweet melody rises on high And when the swans begin singing, They presently must die.
Heinrich Heine
Image
So we keep asking, over and over,Until a handful of earthStops our mouths -But is that an answer?
Heinrich Heine
Image
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
Heinrich Heine
Image
We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged
Heinrich Heine

All I really want is enough to live on, a little house in the country... and a tree in the garden with seven of my enemies hanging in it.

Each violet peeps from its dwelling to gaze at the bright stars above.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The devil take these people and their language! They take a dozen monosyllabic words in their jaws, chew them, crunch them and spit them out again, and call that speaking. Fortunately they are by nature fairly silent, and although they gaze at us open-mouthed, they spare us long conversations.
Heinrich Heine
Image
If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Whenever books are burned, men also in the end are burned.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Genius: 1. to believe your own thought. To believe that what is true for you is ultimately true. 2. a sledgehammer. 3. the fruit of labour and thought. 4. soul. 5. the ability to put into effect what is in your mind. 6. something one can become.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The lotus flower is troubled At the sun's resplendent light With sunken head and sadly She dreamily waits for the night.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Tell me who first did kisses suggest? It was a mouth all glowing and blest It kissed and it thought of nothing beside. The fair month of May was then in its pride, The flowers were all from the earth fast springing, The sun was laughing, the birds were singing.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Human misery is too great for men to die without faith.
Heinrich Heine
Image
He who fears to venture as far as his heart urges and his reason permits, is a coward he who ventures further than he intended to go, is a slave.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
