Additional quotes by Heinrich Heine

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

Das ist schön bei den Deutschen: Keiner ist so verrückt, dass er nicht einen noch Verrückteren fände, der ihn versteht.

Je hebt parels en diamanten
hebt alles wat je hartje begeert.
En óók nog de mooiste ogen.
M'n liefje wat wil je nog meer?

En op die aandoenlijke ogen
schreef ik een lied, keer op keer.
Een vlucht van gevleugelde woorden.
M'n liefje wat wil je nog meer?

Maar die 'aandoenlijke' ogen
op mij, ze deden zó'n zeer
dat jij me te gronde gericht hebt.
M'n liefje wat wil je nog meer?

(Seth Gaaikema)
