More quotes by Madame de Stael
In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
What matters in a character is not whether one holds this or that opinion: what matters is how proudly one upholds it.
Madame de Stael

Nothing recalls the past like music.
Madame de Stael
Between God and love, I recognize no mediator but my conscience.
Madame de Stael
When at eve, at the bounding of the landscape, the heavens appear to recline so slowly on the earth, imagination pictures beyond the horizon an asylum of hope, - a native land of love and nature seems silently to repeat that man is immortal.
Madame de Stael
To live beneath sorrow, one must yield to it.
