More quotes by Madame de Stael
The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.
Madame de Stael
Society develops wit, but its contemplation alone forms genius.
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

Madame de Stael
We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
The more I see of man, the more I like dogs.
Madame de Stael
Providence protects us in all the details of our lot.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
The greater part of what women write about women is mere sycophancy to man.
Madame de Stael
Love is the history of a woman's life it is an episode in man's. [Fr., L'amour est l'histoire de la vie des femmes c'est un episode dans celle des hommes.]
Madame de Stael
It is not enough to forgive one must forget.
Madame de Stael
That past which is so presumptuously brought forward as a precedent for the present, was itself founded on some past that went before it.
Madame de Stael
Have you not observed that faith is generally strongest in those whose character may be called the weakest?
Madame de Stael
Genius inspires this thirst for fame: there is no blessing undesired by those to whom Heaven gave the means of winning it.
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
