Madame de Stael
When we destroy an old prejudice, we have need of a new virtue.
Madame de Stael
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
Genius inspires this thirst for fame: there is no blessing undesired by those to whom Heaven gave the means of winning it.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
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
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
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
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
However old a conjugal union, it still garners some sweetness. Winter has some cloudless days, and under the snow a few flowers still bloom.
Madame de Stael
Self-love, so sensitive in its own cause, has rarely any sympathy to spare for others.
Madame de Stael
Never, never have I been loved as I love others!
Madame de Stael
As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely.
Madame de Stael
there is not enough interest in life to spread over twenty-four hours when one can't sleep.
