Madame de Stael
To live beneath sorrow, one must yield to it.
Madame de Stael
Man's most valuable faculty is his imagination.
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.
