Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.
Heinrich Heine
We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged
Heinrich Heine
All our contemporary philosophers perhaps without knowing it are looking through eyeglasses that Baruch Spinoza polished. Spinoza was a philosopher who earned his livelihood by grinding lenses.
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
Every age thinks its battle the most important of all.
Heinrich Heine
In the image of the lion made He kittens small and curious.
Heinrich Heine
I consider it a degradation and a stain on my honor to submit to baptism in order to qualify myself for state employment in Prussia.
Heinrich Heine
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
