#MadamedeStaël
Republican activist #VictorGold quoted #MadamedeStaël when characterizing American Vice President Dick Cheney, "Men do not change, they unmask themselves."
De Staël is credited in #Tolstoy's epilogue to War and Peace as a factor of the 'influential forces' which historians say led to the movement of humanity in that era.

Mme de Staël is frequently quoted by #RalphWaldoEmerson and she is credited with introducing him to recent German thought.

#HermanMelville considered de Staël among the greatest women of the century and Margaret Fuller consciously adopted de Staël as her role model.

Danish radical #GeorgBrandes gave pride of place to de Staël in his survey of Emigrantlitteraturen and highly esteemed her novels, particularly Corinne, which was also admired by Henrik Ibsen and used as a guidebook for his travels through Italy.

#Talleyrand observed with his customary cynicism that Germaine enjoyed throwing people overboard simply to have the pleasure of fishing them out of the water again.

For #HeinrichHeine she was the "grandmother of doctrines".

For #Byron she was "a good woman at heart and the cleverest at bottom, but spoilt by a wish to be — she knew not w
