More quotes by Madame de Stael
The entire social order ... is arrayed against a woman who wants to rise to a man's reputation.
Madame de Stael
We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love
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
The mind may be exhausted, but the language of the heart is inexhaustible.
Madame de Stael
Madame de Stael thought it was pride in mankind to endeavour to penetrate the secret of the universe and speaking of the higher metaphysics she said: I prefer the Lord's Prayer to it all.
Madame de Stael
In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.
Madame de Stael
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
Madame de Stael
Kindness and generosity ... form the true morality of human actions.
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
I never was able to believe in the existence of next year except as in a metaphysical notion.
Madame de Stael
Be happy, but be happy through piety.
Madame de Stael
[Ridicule] laughs at all those who see the earnestness of life and who still believe in true feelings and in serious thought ... It soils the hope of youth. Only shameless vice is above its reach.
Madame de Stael
Why shouldn't man be as angry about not having always been alive as about having to stop being alive?
Madame de Stael
Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity for if man's power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened.
Madame de Stael
Between God and love, I recognize no mediator but my conscience.
Madame de Stael
I am glad that I am not a man, for then I should have to marry a woman.
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
To live beneath sorrow, one must yield to it.
Madame de Stael
a perfect piece of architecture kindles that aimless reverie, which bears the soul we know not whither.
Madame de Stael
To pray together, in whatever tongue or ritual, is the most tender brotherhood of hope and sympathy that man can contract in this life.
Madame de Stael
