Anne Louise Germaine de Staël on Genius
← Back to Anne Louise Germaine de Staël Profile
“Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it.”
“Genius inspires this thirst for fame: there is no blessing undesired by those to whom Heaven gave the means of winning it.”
“Let us then blend everything: love, religion, genius, with sunshine, perfume, music, and poetry. Atheism exists only in coldness, selfishness and baseness.”
