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.

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
Image
I do not know if she was virtuous, but she was ugly, and with a woman that is half the battle.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Where books are burned in the end people will be burned too.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
Everywhere that a great soul gives utterance to its thoughts, there also is a Golgotha.
Heinrich Heine
Image
I do not know the meaning of my sadness there is an old fairy tale that I cannot get out of my mind.
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
