The evil arising from mental improvement can be corrected only by a still further progress in that very improvement. Either morality is a fable, or the more enlightened we are, the more attached to it we become.
Madame de Stael
The world is the work of a single thought, expressed in a thousand different ways.
Madame de Stael
Genius inspires this thirst for fame: there is no blessing undesired by those to whom Heaven gave the means of winning it.
