If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
Image
Ah! that Senate is a world of ice and darkness! It votes the destruction of peoples as the simplest and wisest thing for its members themselves are moribund.
George Sand
Image
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
Image
The most honest of men is the one who thinks and acts best, but the most powerful is the one who writes and speaks best.

Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
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

Image
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
George Sand
Image
If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.
George Sand
Image
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
George Sand
Image
Heavens! whatever possesses us, here below, that we mutually torment ourselves, sourly reproach our mutual faults, and mercilessly condemn all that is not cut according to our pattern?
George Sand
Image
Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.
George Sand
Image
No one makes a revolution by himself and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.
George Sand
Image
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
Image
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
George Sand
Image
It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
Image
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
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.

You don't have to write to me if you don't feel like it. There's no real friendship without absolute freedom.
