More quotes by Madame de Stael
[On Napoleon:] One has the impression of an imperious wind blowing about one's ears when one is near that man.
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
[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
Life teaches much, but to all thinking persons it brings ever closer the will of God - not because their faculties decline, but on the contrary, because they increase.
Madame de Stael
It is not enough to forgive one must forget.
Madame de Stael
Men do not change they unmask themselves.
Madame de Stael
However old a conjugal union, it still garners some sweetness. Winter has some cloudless days, and under the snow a few flowers still bloom.
Madame de Stael
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
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
I learn life from the poets.
Madame de Stael
The mind's pleasures are made to calm the tempests of the heart.
Madame de Stael
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
Madame de Stael
O Earth! All bathed with blood and tears, yet never, Hast thou ceased putting forth thy fruit and flowers.
Madame de Stael
Conversation as talent exists only in France. In other countries, conversation provides politeness, discussion, and friendship in France, it is an art for which imagination and soul are certainly very welcome, but which can also provide its own secret remedies to compensate you for the absence of either or both, if you so desire.
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
women have no existence except in love the history of their life begins and ends with love!
Madame de Stael
Providence protects us in all the details of our lot.
Madame de Stael
The more I see of man, the more I like dogs.
Madame de Stael
The entire social order ... is arrayed against a woman who wants to rise to a man's reputation.
Madame de Stael
The more we know the better we forgive. Whoever feels deeply, feels for all who live.
Madame de Stael
