Madame de Stael
Never, never have I been loved as I love others!
Madame de Stael

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
Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man its publication is a duty.
Madame de Stael
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
Madame de Stael
Love is the history of a woman's life it is an episode in man's. [Fr., L'amour est l'histoire de la vie des femmes c'est un episode dans celle des hommes.]
Madame de Stael
Goethe has made a remark upon the perfectability of the human mind, which is full of sagacity: It is always advancing, but in a spiral line.
Madame de Stael
Between God and love, I recognize no mediator but my conscience.
Madame de Stael
Tombs decked by the arts can scarcely represent death as a formidable enemy we do not, indeed, like the ancients, carve sports and dances in the sarcophagus, but thought is diverted from the bier by works that tell of immortality, even from the altar of death.
Madame de Stael
Taste is to literature what bon ton is in society.
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
