More quotes by Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
Be happy, but be happy through piety.
Madame de Stael
Taste is to literature what bon ton is in society.
Madame de Stael
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
Madame de Stael
Unhappy love freezes all our affections: our own souls grow inexplicable to us. More than we gained while we were happy we lose by the reverse.
Madame de Stael
What matters in a character is not whether one holds this or that opinion: what matters is how proudly one upholds it.
Madame de Stael
