More quotes by Madame de Stael
The success of any man with any woman is apt to displease even his best friends.
Madame de Stael

Divine Wisdom, intending to detain us some time on earth, has done well to cover with a veil the prospect of the life to come for if our sight could clearly distinguish the opposite bank, who would remain on this tempestuous coast of time?
Madame de Stael
there is not enough interest in life to spread over twenty-four hours when one can't sleep.
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.
Madame de Stael
Love, supreme power of the heart, mysterious enthusiasm that encloses in itself all poetry, all heroism, all religion!
Madame de Stael
Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
Madame de Stael
In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.
Madame de Stael
Man's most valuable faculty is his imagination.
Madame de Stael
