More quotes by George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
A day will come when everything in my life will be changed, when I shall do good to others, when some one will love me, when I shall give my whole heart to the man whi gives ne his neanwhile, U will suffer in silence and keep my love as a reward for him who shall set me free.
George Sand
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
... everyone's free to embark on either a great clipper or a little fishing boat. An artist is an explorer who oughtn't to shrink from anything: it doesn't matter whether he goes to the left or the right -- his goal sanctifies all.
George Sand
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.

George Sand
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
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand

George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
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
Nowadays it seems that moral education is no longer considered necessary. Attention is wholly centered on intelligence, while the heart life is ignored.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
