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
Enthusiasm gives life to what is invisible and interest to what has no immediate action on our comfort in this world.
Madame de Stael
[On Napoleon:] One has the impression of an imperious wind blowing about one's ears when one is near that man.
Madame de Stael
