Beat the drum, Heinrich!*

I have never seen an ass
who talked like a human being,
but I have met many human beings
who talked like asses.

Heinrich Heine (13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856)

* Heine's Doctrine

  2. Gairebé això no canvia, com el cinisme, la maldat i altres companyies.

    Hugs, Sean.
