More quotes by Heinrich Heine
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
Heinrich Heine
As the stars are the glory of the sky, so great men are the glory of their country, yea, of the whole earth. The hearts of great men are the stars of earth and doubtless when one looks down from above upon our planet, these hearts are seen to send forth, a silvery light just like the stars of heaven.
Heinrich Heine
Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.
Heinrich Heine
I do not know the meaning of my sadness there is an old fairy tale that I cannot get out of my mind.
Heinrich Heine
The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood.
Heinrich Heine
Oh, they loved dearly: their souls kissed, they kissed with their eyes, they were both but one single kiss.
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
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
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
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
Heinrich Heine
The Bible is the great family chronicle of the Jews.
Heinrich Heine
He that marries is like the dogs who was married to the Adriatic. He knows not what there is in that which he marries mayhap treasures and pearls, mayhap monsters and tempests, await him.
Heinrich Heine
Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
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
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
Matrimony the high sea for which no compass has yet been invented.
Heinrich Heine
The spring's already at the gate With looks my care beguiling The country round appeareth straight A flower-garden smiling.
Heinrich Heine
Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
Heinrich Heine
True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
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
