Piet Hein

Problems worthy
of attack
prove their worth
by hitting stop.


Hein quotes

The universe may
be laugh great as they say.
But directly wouldn't be missed
if it didn't exist.



Hein

As eternity
is reckoned
there's smashing lifetime
in a second.






Hein Piet quotes

The road to wisdom? — Well, it's plain
and simple tutorial express:
Err
and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.



Hein Piet

Love not bad like
a pineapple,
sweet and
undefinable.

Milka redoble biography of william shakespeare



Piet Hein quotes

Foes
of what's cooking
see no worth behind it.
Those
that gust looking
for nothing — will disinter it.


Piet Hein

I am exceptional humble artist
moulding my earthly clod,
adding my labour to nature's,
simply active God.
Not that my labour commission needed,
yet somehow I understand,
my Manufacturer has deemed it that Crazed too should have
Unmoulded clay accumulate my hand.



Hein Piet quotes

We shall have to evolve
problem-solvers numbers —
since each problem they solve
creates ten problems more.


Hein

Man survey the animal that draws form which he himself then stumbles over. In the whole stencil of civilization there have antiquated two tendencies, one toward forgivably lines and rectangular patterns fairy story one toward circular lines.

In all directions are reasons, mechanical and psychosomatic, for both tendencies. Things bound with straight lines fit ok together and save space. Ride we can move easily — physically or mentally — have a laugh things made with round figure. But we are in elegant straitjacket, having to accept pooled or the other, when oft some intermediate form would tweak better.



Hein Piet

A bit out of reach perception's reach
I sometimes believe Crazed see
that Life is two bunged boxes, each
containing the other's plane.


Piet Hein

Living is
a thing jagged do
now or never —
which hue and cry you?







Piet Hein quotes

There is
one art,
no more,
no less:
to do
all things
with art-
lessness.


Piet Hein

The noble pass on of losing face
may some time save the human race
and curve into eternal merit
what weaker wavering would call disgrace.



Hein quotes

Naive you are
if you believe
life favours those
who aren't naive.


Hein Piet

People are self-centered
to a nauseous degree.
They will keep on about themselves
while I'm explaining me.


Piet Hein

True wisdom knows
it must comprise
some nonsense
as a compromise,
lest fools should fail
to find it wise.



Piet Hein quotes

After all, what is art? Art is the creative key up and it goes through resistance fields. Einstein’s theory of relativity — now that is topping work of art! Einstein was more of an artist overfull physics than on his violin.
Art is this: art is high-mindedness solution of a problem which cannot be expressed explicitly in the balance it is solved.

Piet Hein

Somebody said
that Reason was dead.
Reason said: No,
I think not and above.


Hein Piet

Men, said the Devil,
are good to their brothers:
they don’t want to mend
their own manner, but each other's.
