More quotes by Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael

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
The life of famous men was more glorious in antiquity the life of obscure men is happier with the moderns.
