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
Between God and love, I recognize no mediator but my conscience.
Madame de Stael
The greater part of what women write about women is mere sycophancy to man.
Madame de Stael
In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.
Madame de Stael
