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
Age continually alters the faces of those who think or study, and so their portraits differ from one another and don't even resemble them for very long. I dream so much and live so little that I'm sometimes only three years old. But the next day I'm three hundred, if the dream has been sombre.
George Sand

Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself
George Sand
Image
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
Image
Some say that cats are devils, but they behave badly only when they are alone. When they are among us cats are angels.

O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
Image
Punctuation has its own philosophy, just as style does, although not as language does. Style is a good understanding of language, punctuation is a good understanding of style.
George Sand
Image
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
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!
