More quotes by Heinrich Heine
The same fact that Boccaccio offers in support of religion might be adduced in behalf of a republic: It exists in spite of its ministers.
Heinrich Heine
Lo, sleep is good, better is death--in sooth The best of all were never to be born.
Heinrich Heine
He who fears to venture as far as his heart urges and his reason permits, is a coward he who ventures further than he intended to go, is a slave.
Heinrich Heine
The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood.
Heinrich Heine
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid
Heinrich Heine
Thought is invisible nature.

Heinrich Heine
Out of my great sorrows, I make little songs.
Heinrich Heine
It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to it all.
Heinrich Heine
I have never seen an ass who talked like a human being, but I have met many human beings who talked like asses.
Heinrich Heine
Christ rode on an ass, but now asses ride on Christ.
Heinrich Heine
The gazelles so gentle and clever Skip lightly in frolicsome mood.
Heinrich Heine
The devil take these people and their language! They take a dozen monosyllabic words in their jaws, chew them, crunch them and spit them out again, and call that speaking. Fortunately they are by nature fairly silent, and although they gaze at us open-mouthed, they spare us long conversations.
Heinrich Heine
He is noble who both feels and acts nobly.
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
And over the pond are sailing Two swans all white as snow Sweet voices mysteriously wailing Pierce through me as onward they go. They sail along, and a ringing Sweet melody rises on high And when the swans begin singing, They presently must die.
Heinrich Heine
In earlier religions the spirit of the time was expressed through the individual and confirmed by miracles. In modern religions the spirit is expressed through the many and confirmed by reason.
Heinrich Heine
Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
Heinrich Heine
Ask me not what I have, but what I am.
Heinrich Heine
