More quotes by Madame de Stael
there is not enough interest in life to spread over twenty-four hours when one can't sleep.
Madame de Stael
A Gothic building engenders true religion ... The light, falling through colored glass, the singular forms of the architecture, unite to give a silent image of that infinite mystery which the soul for ever feels, and never comprehends.
Madame de Stael
When we destroy an old prejudice, we have need of a new virtue.
Madame de Stael
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
Madame de Stael
And all the bustle of departure - sometimes sad, sometimes intoxicating - just as fear or hope may be inspired by the new chances of coming destiny.
Madame de Stael
Love is the whole history of a woman's life, it is but an episode in a man's.
Madame de Stael
We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love
Madame de Stael
women have no existence except in love the history of their life begins and ends with love!
Madame de Stael
I must keep on rowing, not until I reach port but until I reach my grave.
Madame de Stael
The success of any man with any woman is apt to displease even his best friends.
Madame de Stael
The entire social order ... is arrayed against a woman who wants to rise to a man's reputation.
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
Love is the history of a woman's life it is an episode in man's. [Fr., L'amour est l'histoire de la vie des femmes c'est un episode dans celle des hommes.]
Madame de Stael
The more I see of man, the more I like dogs.
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
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
New doctrines ever displease the old. They like to fancy that the world has been losing wisdom, instead of gaining it, since they were young.
Madame de Stael
Never, never have I been loved as I love others!
Madame de Stael
Man's most valuable faculty is his imagination.
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.
