„The evil arising from mental improvement can be corrected only by a still further progress in that very improvement.“
— Anne Louise Germaine de Staël
Context: 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.
The Influence of Literature upon Society (De la littérature considérée dans ses rapports avec les istitutions sociales, 1800) , Pt. 2, ch. 4

„Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end: we fancy that we have always possessed what we love, so difficult is it to imagine how we could have lived without it.“
— Anne Louise Germaine de Staël, kniha Corinne
Corinne (1807), Bk. 8, ch. 2, as translated by Isabel Hill (1833)
Variant translation: It is certainly through love that eternity can be understood; it confuses all thoughts about time; it destroys the ideas of beginning and end; one thinks one has always been in love with the person one loves, so difficult is it to conceive that one could live without him.
As translated by Sylvia Raphael (1998)
„O Earth! all bathed with blood and tears, yet never
Hast thou ceased putting forth thy fruit and flowers.“
— Anne Louise Germaine de Staël, kniha Corinne
Corinne (1807), Bk. 13, ch. 4, as translated by Letitia Elizabeth Landon for Isabel Hill (1833)
„A religious life is a struggle and not a hymn.“
