Tell me who first did kisses suggest? It was a mouth all glowing and blest It kissed and it thought of nothing beside. The fair month of May was then in its pride, The flowers were all from the earth fast springing, The sun was laughing, the birds were singing.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid
Heinrich Heine

I do not know the meaning of my sadness there is an old fairy tale that I cannot get out of my mind.
Heinrich Heine
Image
I do not know if she was virtuous, but she was ugly, and with a woman that is half the battle.
Heinrich Heine

Christianity is an idea, and as such is indestructible and immortal, like every idea.
Heinrich Heine

True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Heinrich Heine
