More quotes by Madame de Stael
Divine Wisdom, intending to detain us some time on earth, has done well to cover with a veil the prospect of the life to come for if our sight could clearly distinguish the opposite bank, who would remain on this tempestuous coast of time?
Madame de Stael
Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
Madame de Stael
To live beneath sorrow, one must yield to it.
Madame de Stael
It is not enough to forgive one must forget.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
All music, even if its occasion be a gay one, renders us pensive.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
Love, supreme power of the heart, mysterious enthusiasm that encloses in itself all poetry, all heroism, all religion!
Madame de Stael
Conversation as talent exists only in France. In other countries, conversation provides politeness, discussion, and friendship in France, it is an art for which imagination and soul are certainly very welcome, but which can also provide its own secret remedies to compensate you for the absence of either or both, if you so desire.
Madame de Stael
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
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
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
The mind's pleasures are made to calm the tempests of the heart.
Madame de Stael
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
Madame de Stael
The success of any man with any woman is apt to displease even his best friends.
Madame de Stael
In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.
Madame de Stael
It is difficult to grow old gracefully.
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.
