More quotes by Madame de Stael
Who understands much, forgives much.
Madame de Stael
Danger is like wine, it goes to your head.
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
Only the refined and delicate pleasures that spring from research and education can build up barriers between different ranks.
Madame de Stael
I never was able to believe in the existence of next year except as in a metaphysical notion.
Madame de Stael
The face of a woman, whatever be the force or extent of her mind, whatever be the importance of the object she pursues, is always an obstacle or a reason in the story of her life.
Madame de Stael

Anything that happens gradually is always irrevocable.
Madame de Stael
Prayer is the life of the soul.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
What matters in a character is not whether one holds this or that opinion: what matters is how proudly one upholds it.
Madame de Stael
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
Madame de Stael
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
Madame de Stael

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
I learn life from the poets.
Madame de Stael
A Gothic building engenders true religion ... The light, falling through colored glass, the singular forms of the architecture, unite to give a silent image of that infinite mystery which the soul for ever feels, and never comprehends.
Madame de Stael
New doctrines ever displease the old. They like to fancy that the world has been losing wisdom, instead of gaining it, since they were young.
Madame de Stael
inventiveness is childish, practice sublime.
Madame de Stael
And all the bustle of departure - sometimes sad, sometimes intoxicating - just as fear or hope may be inspired by the new chances of coming destiny.
Madame de Stael
