More quotes by Madame de Stael
The education of life perfects the thinking mind, but depraves the frivolous.
Madame de Stael
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
Madame de Stael
a perfect piece of architecture kindles that aimless reverie, which bears the soul we know not whither.
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
It is not enough to forgive one must forget.
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.
Madame de Stael
As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
I believe that happiness consists in having a destiny in keeping with our abilities. Our desires are things of the moment, often harmful even to ourselves but our abilities are permanent, and their demands never cease.
Madame de Stael
You do not reach the sublime by degrees the distance between it and the merely beautiful is infinite.
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
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
Anything that happens gradually is always irrevocable.
Madame de Stael
The more I see of man, the more I like dogs.
Madame de Stael
When we destroy an old prejudice, we have need of a new virtue.
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.
