More quotes by Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.

The mind may be exhausted, but the language of the heart is inexhaustible.
Madame de Stael

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
When at eve, at the bounding of the landscape, the heavens appear to recline so slowly on the earth, imagination pictures beyond the horizon an asylum of hope, - a native land of love and nature seems silently to repeat that man is immortal.
