I bequeath all my property to my wife on the condition that she remarry immediately. Then there will be at least one man to regret my death.
Heinrich HeineTrue eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Heinrich HeineEvery period of time is a sphinx that throws itself into the abyss as soon as its riddle has been solved.
Heinrich HeineI have a most peaceable disposition. My desires are for a modest hut, a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, very fresh milk and butter, flowers in front of my window and a few pretty trees by my door. And should the good Lord wish to make me really happy, he will allow me the pleasure of seeing about six or seven of my enemies hanged upon those trees.
Heinrich Heine
