Madame de Stael
Life resembles Gobelin tapestry you do not see the canvass on the right side but when you turn it, the threads are visible.
Madame de Stael
Danger is like wine, it goes to your head.
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
