More quotes by Madame de Stael
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
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
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
Madame de Stael
The more we know the better we forgive. Whoever feels deeply, feels for all who live.
Madame de Stael
The universe is in France outside it, there is nothing.
Madame de Stael
The mind may be exhausted, but the language of the heart is inexhaustible.
Madame de Stael
Be happy, but be happy through piety.
Madame de Stael
Poetry is the apotheosis of sentiment.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
Have you not observed that faith is generally strongest in those whose character may be called the weakest?
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely.
Madame de Stael

Madame de Stael
The pursuit of politics is religion, morality, and poetry all in one.
Madame de Stael
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
Madame de Stael
women have no existence except in love the history of their life begins and ends with love!
Madame de Stael
I am glad that I am not a man, for then I should have to marry a woman.
Madame de Stael
Kindness and generosity ... form the true morality of human actions.
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.
