Image
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
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.
Heinrich Heine
Image
We know only that our entire existence is forced into new paths and disrupted, that new circumstances, new joys and new sorrows await us, and that the unknown has its uncanny attractions, alluring and at the same time anguishing.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Whether a revolution succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.
Heinrich Heine
Image
God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling.
Heinrich Heine
Image
All our contemporary philosophers perhaps without knowing it are looking through eyeglasses that Baruch Spinoza polished. Spinoza was a philosopher who earned his livelihood by grinding lenses.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Life is all too wondrous sweet, and the world is so beautifully bewildered it is the dream of an intoxicated divinity.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There are more fools in the world than there are people.
Heinrich Heine
Image
You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle. For it stands halfway between thought and phenomenon, between spirit and matter.
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
There is one thing on earth more terrible than English music, and that is English painting.
Heinrich Heine
Image
God will pardon me. It is His trade.
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.
Heinrich Heine

Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The devil take these people and their language! They take a dozen monosyllabic words in their jaws, chew them, crunch them and spit them out again, and call that speaking. Fortunately they are by nature fairly silent, and although they gaze at us open-mouthed, they spare us long conversations.
Heinrich Heine
Image
A brainiac notices everything, an ignoramus comments about everything.
Heinrich Heine
Image
When'er into thine eyes I see, All pain and sorrow fly from me. [Ger., Wenn ich in deine Augen sch' So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh.]
Heinrich Heine
Image
Out of my own great woe I make my little songs.
