Man's most valuable faculty is his imagination.
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
