Heine, Heinrich

Immortality! nice thought! who thought of you first?

what is the human? A hollow concept, / Only an abstract shell! / Concrete content only gives it / The noble fullness of the Rhine wine

When the good Lord is bored in heaven, he opens the windows and looks at the boulevards of Paris

As we love our mother, so we love the soil on which we are born, so we love the flowers, the fragrance, the language and the people who have blossomed from this soil

We do not understand the ruins until we are ruins ourselves

If I didn't know that loyalty is as old as the world, I would believe it was invented by a German heart
