Matrimony the high sea for which no compass has yet been invented.
Heinrich Heine
But a day must come when the fire of youth will be quenched in my veins, when winter will dwell in my heart, when his snow flakes will whiten my locks, and his mists will dim my eyes. Then my friends will lie in their lonely grave, and I alone will remain like a solitary stalk forgotten by the reaper.
Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
Heinrich Heine
I fell asleep reading a dull book and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom.
Heinrich Heine
Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people.
Heinrich Heine
While we are indifferent to our good qualities, we keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our faults, until we come to look on them as virtues.

The gazelles so gentle and clever Skip lightly in frolicsome mood.
Heinrich Heine
God will pardon me. It is His trade.
Heinrich Heine
