Madame de Stael
The pursuit of politics is religion, morality, and poetry all in one.
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
I must keep on rowing, not until I reach port but until I reach my grave.
Madame de Stael
[Ridicule] laughs at all those who see the earnestness of life and who still believe in true feelings and in serious thought ... It soils the hope of youth. Only shameless vice is above its reach.
Madame de Stael
