More quotes by Madame de Stael
Be happy, but be happy through piety.
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
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
Madame de Stael
The evil arising from mental improvement can be corrected only by a still further progress in that very improvement. Either morality is a fable, or the more enlightened we are, the more attached to it we become.
Madame de Stael
a perfect piece of architecture kindles that aimless reverie, which bears the soul we know not whither.
Madame de Stael
Poetry is the apotheosis of sentiment.
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
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
It is difficult to grow old gracefully.
Madame de Stael
Music revives the recollections it would appease.
Madame de Stael
The greater part of what women write about women is mere sycophancy to man.
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
I believe that happiness consists in having a destiny in keeping with our abilities. Our desires are things of the moment, often harmful even to ourselves but our abilities are permanent, and their demands never cease.
Madame de Stael
inventiveness is childish, practice sublime.
Madame de Stael
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
Madame de Stael
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
Madame de Stael
Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
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
Superstition is related to this life, religion to the next superstition is allied to fatality, religion to virtue it is by the vivacity of earthly desires that we become superstitious it is, on the contrary, by the sacrifice of these desires that we become religious.
Madame de Stael
When women oppose themselves to the projects and ambition of men, they excite their lively resentment if in their youth they meddle with political intrigues, their modesty must suffer.
