Whether a revolution succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
Heinrich Heine
Image
First, I thought, almost despairing, This must crush my spirit now Yet I bore it, and am bearing- Only do not ask me how.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The spring's already at the gate With looks my care beguiling The country round appeareth straight A flower-garden smiling.
Heinrich Heine
Image
True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Heinrich Heine
Image

Heinrich Heine
Image
Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
Heinrich Heine
Image

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
The men of the past had convictions, while we moderns have only opinions.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Where words leave off, music begins.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The deepest truth blooms only from the deepest love.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The lotus flower is troubled At the sun's resplendent light With sunken head and sadly She dreamily waits for the night.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There is no Sixth Commandment in art. The poet is entitled to lay his hands on whatever material he finds necessary for his work.
