More quotes by Heinrich Heine
The men of the past had convictions, while we moderns have only opinions.
Heinrich Heine
The air grows cool and darkles, The Rhine flows calmly on The mountain summit sparkles In the light of the setting sun.
Heinrich Heine
Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling.
Heinrich Heine
Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too.
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
If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine
In vain would I seek to discover Why sad and mournful am I, My thoughts without ceasing brood over A tale of the time gone by.
Heinrich Heine
Out of my own great woe I make my little songs.
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
The men of action are, after all, only the unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heinrich Heine
The stones here speak to me, and I know their mute language. Also, they seem deeply to feel what I think. So a broken column of the old Roman times, an old tower of Lombardy, a weather- beaten Gothic piece of a pillar understands me well. But I am a ruin myself, wandering among ruins.
Heinrich Heine
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
Heinrich Heine
Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.
Heinrich Heine
So we keep asking, over and over,Until a handful of earthStops our mouths -But is that an answer?
Heinrich Heine
Lyrical poetry is much the same an every age, as the songs of the nightingales in every spring-time.
Heinrich Heine
Whenever books are burned, men also in the end are burned.
Heinrich Heine
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
The cloudlets are lazily sailing O'er the blue Atlantic sea And mid the twilight there hovers A shadowy figure o'er me.
Heinrich Heine
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
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.
