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
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
Madame de Stael
Love, supreme power of the heart, mysterious enthusiasm that encloses in itself all poetry, all heroism, all religion!
Madame de Stael
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
