More quotes by Madame de Stael
Danger is like wine, it goes to your head.
Madame de Stael
Tombs decked by the arts can scarcely represent death as a formidable enemy we do not, indeed, like the ancients, carve sports and dances in the sarcophagus, but thought is diverted from the bier by works that tell of immortality, even from the altar of death.
Madame de Stael
O Earth! All bathed with blood and tears, yet never, Hast thou ceased putting forth thy fruit and flowers.
Madame de Stael
Providence protects us in all the details of our lot.
Madame de Stael
Goethe has made a remark upon the perfectability of the human mind, which is full of sagacity: It is always advancing, but in a spiral line.
Madame de Stael
One must, in one's life, make a choice between boredom and suffering.
Madame de Stael
The mind's pleasures are made to calm the tempests of the heart.
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
I must keep on rowing, not until I reach port but until I reach my grave.
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
You do not reach the sublime by degrees the distance between it and the merely beautiful is infinite.
Madame de Stael
Who understands much, forgives much.
Madame de Stael
As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely.
Madame de Stael
When we destroy an old prejudice, we have need of a new virtue.
Madame de Stael
All music, even if its occasion be a gay one, renders us pensive.
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
Genius inspires this thirst for fame: there is no blessing undesired by those to whom Heaven gave the means of winning it.
Madame de Stael
inventiveness is childish, practice sublime.
Madame de Stael
I am glad that I am not a man, for then I should have to marry a woman.
Madame de Stael
Anything that happens gradually is always irrevocable.
Madame de Stael
