More quotes by Heinrich Heine
I do not know if she was virtuous, but she was ugly, and with a woman that is half the battle.
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.
Heinrich Heine
Laughter is wholesome. God is not so dull as some people make out. Did not He make the kitten to chase its tail.
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
Where books are burned in the end people will be burned too.
Heinrich Heine
True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Heinrich Heine
Oh fair, oh sweet and holy as dew at morning tide, I gaze on thee, and yearnings, sad in my bosom hide.
Heinrich Heine
Everywhere that a great soul gives utterance to its thoughts, there also is a Golgotha.
Heinrich Heine
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.
Heinrich Heine
In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.
Heinrich Heine
There are more fools in the world than there are people.
Heinrich Heine
Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people.
Heinrich Heine
All I really want is enough to live on, a little house in the country... and a tree in the garden with seven of my enemies hanging in it.
Heinrich Heine
He that marries is like the dogs who was married to the Adriatic. He knows not what there is in that which he marries mayhap treasures and pearls, mayhap monsters and tempests, await him.
Heinrich Heine
Matrimony the high sea for which no compass has yet been invented.
Heinrich Heine
Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
Heinrich Heine
You talk of our having an idea we do not have an idea. The idea has us, and martyrs us, and scourges us, and drives us into the arena to fight and die for it, whether we want to or not.
Heinrich Heine
Thought precedes action as lighting does thunder.
Heinrich Heine
The lotus flower is troubled At the sun's resplendent light With sunken head and sadly She dreamily waits for the night.
Heinrich Heine
In action, the English have the advantage enjoyed by free men always entitled to free discussion: of having a ready judgment on every question. We Germans, on the other hand, are always thinking. We think so much that we never form a judgment.
Heinrich Heine
