Heinrich Heine
The Bible is the great family chronicle of the Jews.
Heinrich Heine

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
No talent, but yet a character. [Ger., Kein talent, doch ein Charakter.]
Heinrich Heine
If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine
Newness hath an evanescent beauty.
Heinrich Heine
Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you. Oh, what lies there are in kisses!
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
Laughter is wholesome. God is not so dull as some people make out. Did not He make the kitten to chase its tail.
Heinrich Heine
Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too.
Heinrich Heine
Don't send a poet to London.
