More quotes by Madame de Stael
Never, never have I been loved as I love others!
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
All music, even if its occasion be a gay one, renders us pensive.
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
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
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
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
Madame de Stael
When we destroy an old prejudice, we have need of a new virtue.
Madame de Stael
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
Madame de Stael
Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity for if man's power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened.
Madame de Stael
Poetry is the apotheosis of sentiment.
Madame de Stael
I believe that happiness consists in having a destiny in keeping with our abilities. Our desires are things of the moment, often harmful even to ourselves but our abilities are permanent, and their demands never cease.
Madame de Stael
Love is above the laws, above the opinion of men it is the truth, the flame, the pure element, the primary idea of the moral world.
Madame de Stael
The entire social order ... is arrayed against a woman who wants to rise to a man's reputation.
Madame de Stael
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Madame de Stael
Men do not change they unmask themselves.
Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm gives life to what is invisible and interest to what has no immediate action on our comfort in this world.
Madame de Stael
Life teaches much, but to all thinking persons it brings ever closer the will of God - not because their faculties decline, but on the contrary, because they increase.
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.
Madame de Stael
Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
Madame de Stael
