More quotes by Heinrich Heine
Ask me not what I have, but what I am.
Heinrich Heine
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
Heinrich Heine
Newness hath an evanescent beauty.
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
Out of my great sorrows, I make little songs.
Heinrich Heine
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
Heinrich Heine
The lotus flower is troubled At the sun's resplendent light With sunken head and sadly She dreamily waits for the night.
Heinrich Heine
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
When'er into thine eyes I see, All pain and sorrow fly from me. [Ger., Wenn ich in deine Augen sch' So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh.]
Heinrich Heine
Sweet May lies fresh before us, To life the young flowers leap, And through the Heaven's blue o'er us The rosy cloudlets sweep.
Heinrich Heine
The same fact that Boccaccio offers in support of religion might be adduced in behalf of a republic: It exists in spite of its ministers.
Heinrich Heine
Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people.
Heinrich Heine
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
Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle. For it stands halfway between thought and phenomenon, between spirit and matter.
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
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
Heinrich Heine
Freedom is a new religion, the religion of our time.
Heinrich Heine
Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.
Heinrich Heine
The arrow belongs not to the archer when it has once left the bow the word no longer belongs to the speaker when it has once passed his lips, especially when it has been multiplied by the press.
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.
