More quotes by Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
No talent, but yet a character. [Ger., Kein talent, doch ein Charakter.]
Heinrich Heine
Atheism is the last word of theism
Heinrich Heine
Poverty sits by the cradle of all our great men and rocks all of them to manhood.

Heinrich Heine
Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
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
My heart resembles the ocean has storm, and ebb and flow and many a beautiful pearl lies hid in its depths below.
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
Out of my great sorrows, I make little songs.
Heinrich Heine
In action, the English have the advantage enjoyed by free men always entitled to free discussion: of having a ready judgment on every question. We Germans, on the other hand, are always thinking. We think so much that we never form a judgment.
Heinrich Heine
The Bible is the great family chronicle of the Jews.
Heinrich Heine
God will pardon me. It is His trade.
Heinrich Heine
Whether a revolution succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.
