More quotes by Madame de Stael
Between God and love, I recognize no mediator but my conscience.
Madame de Stael
Divine Wisdom, intending to detain us some time on earth, has done well to cover with a veil the prospect of the life to come for if our sight could clearly distinguish the opposite bank, who would remain on this tempestuous coast of time?
Madame de Stael
One must, in one's life, make a choice between boredom and suffering.
Madame de Stael
I learn life from the poets.
Madame de Stael
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
When women oppose themselves to the projects and ambition of men, they excite their lively resentment if in their youth they meddle with political intrigues, their modesty must suffer.
Madame de Stael
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
Madame de Stael
Prayer is the life of the soul.
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
The egotism of woman is always for two.
Madame de Stael
Man's most valuable faculty is his imagination.
Madame de Stael
The sense of this word among the Greeks affords the noblest definition of it enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
The evil arising from mental improvement can be corrected only by a still further progress in that very improvement. Either morality is a fable, or the more enlightened we are, the more attached to it we become.
Madame de Stael
Taste is to literature what bon ton is in society.
Madame de Stael
The world is the work of a single thought, expressed in a thousand different ways.
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
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
The life of famous men was more glorious in antiquity the life of obscure men is happier with the moderns.
