More quotes by Madame de Stael
One must, in one's life, make a choice between boredom and suffering.
Madame de Stael
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
I am glad that I am not a man, for then I should have to marry a woman.
Madame de Stael
Taste is to literature what bon ton is in society.
Madame de Stael
Society develops wit, but its contemplation alone forms genius.
Madame de Stael
The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
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
Danger is like wine, it goes to your head.
Madame de Stael
When we destroy an old prejudice, we have need of a new virtue.
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
Poetry is the apotheosis of sentiment.
Madame de Stael
Love is above the laws, above the opinion of men it is the truth, the flame, the pure element, the primary idea of the moral world.
Madame de Stael
The success of any man with any woman is apt to displease even his best friends.
Madame de Stael
Divine Wisdom, intending to detain us some time on earth, has done well to cover with a veil the prospect of the life to come for if our sight could clearly distinguish the opposite bank, who would remain on this tempestuous coast of time?
Madame de Stael
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
Madame de Stael
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
Madame de Stael
I must keep on rowing, not until I reach port but until I reach my grave.
Madame de Stael
Self-love, so sensitive in its own cause, has rarely any sympathy to spare for others.
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
It is not enough to forgive one must forget.
Madame de Stael
