Germaine de Staël Quote

Freedom is incompatible with love. A lover is always a slave.

What is happiness but the development of our faculties?

Disappointment walks smiling behind enthusiasm.

Women never measure sacrifices; neither their own, nor those of others.

To the intelligent, one can convince; to the foolish, persuade.

Pain always delivers on its promise.

Love is the story of women's lives and an episode in men's.

Being fully understanding makes one indulgent.

Aspiring is a woman's privilege.

The mystery of life is the connection between our mistakes and our misfortunes.

When a friend realizes that we need them urgently, they always lose their cordiality.
