More quotes by George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
George Sand
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
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
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!
George Sand
God has written in the law of nature that when two people are joined in love or friendship, one must always give his heart more perfectly than the other.
George Sand
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
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
There is only one sex. A man and a woman are so entirely the same thing that one can scarcely understand the subtle reasons for sex distinctions with which our minds are filled.
George Sand
Death must no longer be either the penalty for prosperity or the consolation of misery. God did not destine it to be either the punishment or the compensation for life.
George Sand
No religion can be built on force.
George Sand
Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.
George Sand
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
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
George Sand
Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
George Sand
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
