Every age thinks its battle the most important of all.
Heinrich Heine

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
He who fears to venture as far as his heart urges and his reason permits, is a coward he who ventures further than he intended to go, is a slave.
Heinrich Heine

The stones here speak to me, and I know their mute language. Also, they seem deeply to feel what I think. So a broken column of the old Roman times, an old tower of Lombardy, a weather- beaten Gothic piece of a pillar understands me well. But I am a ruin myself, wandering among ruins.
Heinrich Heine

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
He who fights with priests may make up his mind to have his poor good name torn and befouled by the most infamous lies and the most cutting slanders.
Heinrich Heine

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

Where words leave off, music begins.
Heinrich Heine
Image
I have never seen an ass who talked like a human being, but I have met many human beings who talked like asses.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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

There are more fools in the world than there are people.
Heinrich Heine

Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
