If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Reason exercises merely the function of preserving order, is, so to say, the police in the region of art. In life it is mostly a cold arithmetician summing up our follies.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The air grows cool and darkles, The Rhine flows calmly on The mountain summit sparkles In the light of the setting sun.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Christ rode on an ass, but now asses ride on Christ.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too.
Heinrich Heine

He only profits from praise who values criticism.
Heinrich Heine
Image
On the waves of the brook she dances by, The light, the lovely dragon-fly She dances here, she dances there, The shimmering, glimmering flutterer fair. And many a foolish young beetle's impressed By the blue gauze gown in which she is dressed They admire the enamel that decks her bright, And her elegant waist so slim and slight.

True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Each violet peeps from its dwelling to gaze at the bright stars above.
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
Image
Every age thinks its battle the most important of all.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle.
Heinrich Heine
Image
A brainiac notices everything, an ignoramus comments about everything.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid

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