Madame de Stael
there is not enough interest in life to spread over twenty-four hours when one can't sleep.
Madame de Stael
Anything that happens gradually is always irrevocable.
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
