The mind may be exhausted, but the language of the heart is inexhaustible.
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.

Who understands much, forgives much.
Madame de Stael
Be happy, but be happy through piety.

Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
Conversation as talent exists only in France. In other countries, conversation provides politeness, discussion, and friendship in France, it is an art for which imagination and soul are certainly very welcome, but which can also provide its own secret remedies to compensate you for the absence of either or both, if you so desire.
Madame de Stael
To pray together, in whatever tongue or ritual, is the most tender brotherhood of hope and sympathy that man can contract in this life.
Madame de Stael
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
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
Love, supreme power of the heart, mysterious enthusiasm that encloses in itself all poetry, all heroism, all religion!
Madame de Stael
