More quotes by Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm gives life to what is invisible and interest to what has no immediate action on our comfort in this world.
Madame de Stael
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
Madame de Stael
Self-love, so sensitive in its own cause, has rarely any sympathy to spare for others.
Madame de Stael
Liberty is the only idea which circulates with the human blood, in all ages, in all countries, and in all literature - liberty that is, and what cannot be separated from liberty, a love of country.
Madame de Stael
The universe is in France outside it, there is nothing.
Madame de Stael
It seems to me that life's circumstances, being ephemeral, teach us less about durable truths than the fictions based on those truths and that the best lessons of delicacy and self-respect are to be found in novels where the feelings are so naturally portrayed that you fancy you are witnessing real life as you read.
Madame de Stael
[Ridicule] laughs at all those who see the earnestness of life and who still believe in true feelings and in serious thought ... It soils the hope of youth. Only shameless vice is above its reach.
Madame de Stael
Have you not observed that faith is generally strongest in those whose character may be called the weakest?
Madame de Stael
Life teaches much, but to all thinking persons it brings ever closer the will of God - not because their faculties decline, but on the contrary, because they increase.
Madame de Stael
When at eve, at the bounding of the landscape, the heavens appear to recline so slowly on the earth, imagination pictures beyond the horizon an asylum of hope, - a native land of love and nature seems silently to repeat that man is immortal.
Madame de Stael
The thing that must be preserved in all situations whatever is the reputation of one's character.
Madame de Stael
there is not enough interest in life to spread over twenty-four hours when one can't sleep.
Madame de Stael
Only the refined and delicate pleasures that spring from research and education can build up barriers between different ranks.
Madame de Stael
What matters in a character is not whether one holds this or that opinion: what matters is how proudly one upholds it.
Madame de Stael
women have no existence except in love the history of their life begins and ends with love!
Madame de Stael
Prayer is the life of the soul.
Madame de Stael
Madame de Stael thought it was pride in mankind to endeavour to penetrate the secret of the universe and speaking of the higher metaphysics she said: I prefer the Lord's Prayer to it all.
Madame de Stael
Society develops wit, but its contemplation alone forms genius.
Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
Madame de Stael
