More quotes by 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
While we are indifferent to our good qualities, we keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our faults, until we come to look on them as virtues.
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
The men of action are, after all, only the unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
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
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
Heinrich Heine
Life is all too wondrous sweet, and the world is so beautifully bewildered it is the dream of an intoxicated divinity.
Heinrich Heine
God will pardon: That's His business.
Heinrich Heine
Perhaps already I am dead, And these perhaps are phantoms vain - These motley phantasies that pass At night through my disordered brain. Perhaps with ancient heathen shapes, Old faded gods, this brain is full Who, for their most unholy rites, Have chosen a dead poet's skull.
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
Human misery is too great for men to die without faith.
Heinrich Heine
A lonely fir-tree is standing On a northern barren height It sleeps, and the ice and snow-drift Cast round it a garment of white.
Heinrich Heine
Out of my own great woe I make my little songs.
Heinrich Heine
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heinrich Heine
Christianity is an idea, and as such is indestructible and immortal, like every idea.
Heinrich Heine
The negro king desired to be portrayed as white. But do not laugh at the poor African for every man is but another negro king, and would like to appear in a color different from that with which Fate has bedaubed him.
Heinrich Heine
He who fights with priests may make up his mind to have his poor good name torn and befouled by the most infamous lies and the most cutting slanders.
Heinrich Heine
Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.
Heinrich Heine
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid
