God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine

Out of my great sorrows, I make little songs.
Heinrich Heine

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
Pretty women without religion are like flowers without perfume.
Heinrich Heine

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
Image
True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The same fact that Boccaccio offers in support of religion might be adduced in behalf of a republic: It exists in spite of its ministers.
Heinrich Heine
Image
In the image of the lion made He kittens small and curious.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
There are more fools in the world than there are people.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.
Heinrich Heine
Image
We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged
Heinrich Heine
