Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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.

The arrow belongs not to the archer when it has once left the bow the word no longer belongs to the speaker when it has once passed his lips, especially when it has been multiplied by the press.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Newness hath an evanescent beauty.
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
Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too.

Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle.

The men of action are, after all, only the unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heinrich Heine
