I see that time divided is never long, and that regularity abridges all things

Madame de Stael, also known as Anne Louise Germaine de Stael, was a prominent French writer and intellectual figure during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. She was known for her sharp wit, political commentary, and literary works that challenged the norms of her time. One of her most famous quotes, "I see that time divided is never long, and that regularity abridges all things," speaks to her understanding of the passage of time and the importance of structure in our lives.
