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
Never, never have I been loved as I love others!
Madame de Stael
Prayer is the life of the soul.
