Image
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand

Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
Image
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.
George Sand
Image
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
Image
I love everything that makes up a milieu, the rolling of the carriages and the noise of the workmen in Paris, the cries of a thousand birds in the country, the movement of the ships on the waters. I love also absolute, profound silence, and, in short, I love everything that is around me, no matter where I am.
George Sand
Image
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
Image
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
Image
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
George Sand
Image
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
Image
No human being can control love, and no one is to blame either for feeling it or for losing it. What alone degrades a woman is falsehood.
George Sand
Image
We must love stupid people better than ourselves are they not the really unfortunate ones of this world? Do not people without taste and without ideal grow constantly weary, rejoicing in nothing, and being quite useless here below?
George Sand
Image
To be made evident, truth must be sought for for of itself it is slow to appear, and between ourselves and God the obstacles are so many!
