More quotes by Heinrich Heine
God has given us speech in order that we may say pleasant things to our friends, and tell bitter truths to our enemies.
Heinrich Heine
Sweet May hath come to love us, Flowers, trees, their blossoms don And through the blue heavens above us The very clouds move on.
Heinrich Heine
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heinrich Heine
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
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
The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.
Heinrich Heine
The eyes of spring, so azure, Are peeping from the ground They are the darling violets, That I in nosegays bound.
Heinrich Heine
The nightingale appear'd the first, And as her melody she sang, The apple into blossom burst, To life the grass and violets sprang.
Heinrich Heine
What lies lurk in kisses.
Heinrich Heine
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
Lyrical poetry is much the same an every age, as the songs of the nightingales in every spring-time.
Heinrich Heine
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers, and as the human heart, imagining itself alone and unwatched, feels most deeply in the night-time, so seems it as if the flowers, in musing modesty, await the mantling eventide ere they give themselves up wholly to feeling...
Heinrich Heine
It is an ancient story Yet is it ever new.
Heinrich Heine
Thought is invisible nature.
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
Oh, they loved dearly: their souls kissed, they kissed with their eyes, they were both but one single kiss.
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
I have never seen an ass who talked like a human being, but I have met many human beings who talked like asses.
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
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.
Heinrich Heine
