Heinrich Heine
Image
God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.

A brainiac notices everything, an ignoramus comments about everything.

Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Be entirely tolerant or not at all follow the good path or the evil one. To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
Life is all too wondrous sweet, and the world is so beautifully bewildered it is the dream of an intoxicated divinity.
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

Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Image
The stones here speak to me, and I know their mute language. Also, they seem deeply to feel what I think. So a broken column of the old Roman times, an old tower of Lombardy, a weather- beaten Gothic piece of a pillar understands me well. But I am a ruin myself, wandering among ruins.
Heinrich Heine
Image
He only profits from praise who values criticism.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
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

If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine

Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
