Madame de Stael
All music, even if its occasion be a gay one, renders us pensive.
Madame de Stael
The more we know the better we forgive. Whoever feels deeply, feels for all who live.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
Man's most valuable faculty is his imagination.
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
Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
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
And all the bustle of departure - sometimes sad, sometimes intoxicating - just as fear or hope may be inspired by the new chances of coming destiny.
Madame de Stael
As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely.
Madame de Stael
The greater part of what women write about women is mere sycophancy to man.
Madame de Stael
