- Madame de Stael

About this Quote

This quote by Madame de Stael speaks to the power of 2 qualities that are frequently seen as opposites: innocence and power. Innocence is frequently related to naivety and absence of experience, while power is related to strength and authority. Nevertheless, Madame de Stael recommends that these 2 qualities can coexist in a positive way. Innocence can bring a sense of creativity and openness to power, while power can bring a sense of stability and protection to innocence. By integrating these 2 qualities, Madame de Stael suggests that we can create a more well balanced and harmonious society. She believes that when innocence and power are combined, they can develop a noble and virtuous society. This quote motivates us to accept both innocence and power, and to use them to produce a better world.
