More quotes by Madame de Stael
In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
Madame de Stael
Conversation as talent exists only in France. In other countries, conversation provides politeness, discussion, and friendship in France, it is an art for which imagination and soul are certainly very welcome, but which can also provide its own secret remedies to compensate you for the absence of either or both, if you so desire.
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
I learn life from the poets.
Madame de Stael
The mind's pleasures are made to calm the tempests of the heart.
Madame de Stael
You do not reach the sublime by degrees the distance between it and the merely beautiful is infinite.
Madame de Stael
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
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
The success of any man with any woman is apt to displease even his best friends.
