Heinrich Heine

God has given us the tongue so that we can speak kind things to our friends and harsh truths to our enemies.

True madness may be nothing more than wisdom itself, tired of discovering the world's shame, having made the intelligent resolution to go crazy.

The wise generate new ideas; the foolish expand them.

If you want to travel to the stars, don't seek company.

Upon closer inspection, we all hide, completely naked, in the clothes we wear.

Wherever books are burned, men will ultimately be burned.

Build your cabin in the valley, but never do it at the summit.

Any crime that does not become a scandal does not exist for society.

Where books are loved, men are also loved.

Angels call it divine pleasure; demons, infernal suffering; men, love.

To be loved wholeheartedly... one must suffer.

Experience is a good school, but the tuition is very expensive.
