Madame de Stael
The mind's pleasures are made to calm the tempests of the heart.
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.

A Gothic building engenders true religion ... The light, falling through colored glass, the singular forms of the architecture, unite to give a silent image of that infinite mystery which the soul for ever feels, and never comprehends.
Madame de Stael
