Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
The education of life perfects the thinking mind, but depraves the frivolous.
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
women have no existence except in love the history of their life begins and ends with love!
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

Madame de Stael
Why shouldn't man be as angry about not having always been alive as about having to stop being alive?
Madame de Stael
There are women vain of advantages not connected with their persons, such as birth, rank, and fortune it is difficult to feel less the dignity of the sex. The origin of all women may be called celestial, for their power is the offspring of the gifts of Nature by yielding to pride and ambition they soon destroy the magic of their charms.
Madame de Stael
Love is the whole history of a woman's life, it is but an episode in a man's.
