Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
Madame de Stael
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
Madame de Stael
Love is the whole history of a woman's life, it is but an episode in a man's.

Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
When at eve, at the bounding of the landscape, the heavens appear to recline so slowly on the earth, imagination pictures beyond the horizon an asylum of hope, - a native land of love and nature seems silently to repeat that man is immortal.
Madame de Stael
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
Madame de Stael
Danger is like wine, it goes to your head.
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
Kindness and generosity ... form the true morality of human actions.
Madame de Stael
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
