Mine is a most peaceable disposition. My wishes are: a humble cottage with a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, the freshest milk and butter, flowers before my window, and a few fine trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did me in their lifetime. One must, it is true, forgive one's enemies-- but not before they have been hanged.

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

The arrow belongs not to the ...

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.

The years keep coming and going, Men will arise & depart; Only one thing is immortal: The love that is in my heart.

My heart resembles the ocean; has storm, and ebb and flow; and many a beautiful pearl lies hid in its depths below.

Every period of time is a sphinx that throws itself into the abyss as soon as its riddle has been solved.

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.

Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

I call'd the devil, and he came, And with wonder his form did I closely scan; He is not ugly, and is not lame, But really a handsome and charming man. A man in the prime of life is the devil, Obliging, a man of the world, and civil; A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate, He talks quite glibly of church and state.

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

God will forgive me the foolish remarks I have made about Him just as I will forgive my opponents the foolish things they have written about me, even though they are spiritually as inferior to me as I to thee, O God!

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

I care little in the existenc...

I care little in the existence of a heaven or hell; self respect does not allow me to guide my acts with an eye toward heavenly salvation or hellish punishment. I pursue the good in life because it is beautiful and attracts me; and shun the bad because it is ugly and repulsive. All our acts should originate from the spring of unselfish love, whether there be a continuation after death or not.

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

Wild, dark times are rumbling...

Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison.

Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.

He only profits from praise who values criticism.

In earlier religions the spirit of the time was expressed through the individual and confirmed by miracles. In modern religions the spirit is expressed through the many and confirmed by reason.

If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.

Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all.

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

Great genius takes shape by contact with another great genius, but, less by assimilation than by friction.

Heinrich Heine 323 quotes

Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.

Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
