More quotes by Lady Hester Stanhope

Nobody is such a fool as to moider away his time in the slip-slop conversation of a pack of women.

I shall go on making sublime and philosophical discoveries, and employing myself in deep, abstract studies.

I have nothing to fear… I am the sun, the stars, the pearl, the lion, the light from heaven.

A poor gentlewoman, doctor, is the worst thing in the world

I shall not allow the pension… to be stopped by force: I shall resign it
