Our sweetest hopes rise blooming. And then again are gone, They bloom and fade alternate, And so it goes rolling on. I know it, and it troubles My life, my love, my rest, My heart is wise and witty, And it bleeds within my breast.
Heinrich Heine

More quotes by Heinrich Heine
You talk of our having an idea we do not have an idea. The idea has us, and martyrs us, and scourges us, and drives us into the arena to fight and die for it, whether we want to or not.
Heinrich Heine
The butterfly long loved the beautiful rose, And flirted around all day While round him in turn with her golden caress, Soft fluttered the sun's warm ray.... I know not with whom the rose was in love, But I know that I loved them all. The butterfly, rose, and the sun's bright ray, The star and the bird's sweet call.
Heinrich Heine
Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.
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
Whenever books are burned, men also in the end are burned.
Heinrich Heine
When'er into thine eyes I see, All pain and sorrow fly from me. [Ger., Wenn ich in deine Augen sch' So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh.]
Heinrich Heine
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid
Heinrich Heine
The devil take these people and their language! They take a dozen monosyllabic words in their jaws, chew them, crunch them and spit them out again, and call that speaking. Fortunately they are by nature fairly silent, and although they gaze at us open-mouthed, they spare us long conversations.
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
There is one thing on earth more terrible than English music, and that is English painting.
Heinrich Heine
The men of the past had convictions, while we moderns have only opinions.
Heinrich Heine
A brainiac notices everything, an ignoramus comments about everything.
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
God will pardon: That's His business.
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
Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.
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
Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison.
Heinrich Heine
There are more fools in the world than there are people.
Heinrich Heine
The foolish race of mankind are swarming below in the night they shriek and rage and quarrel - and all of them are right.
Heinrich Heine
