More quotes by Heinrich Heine
In the image of the lion made He kittens small and curious.
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
Christ rode on an ass, but now asses ride on Christ.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.
Heinrich Heine
What lies lurk in kisses.
Heinrich Heine
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
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
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine
We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged
Heinrich Heine
