More quotes by George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
living for oneself is a bad thing. The keenest intellectual pleasure comes from being able to return to the self after being absent from it for a spell. But living all the time inside the self, that most tyrannical, demanding and capricious of companions - no, one shouldn't do it.
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
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
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
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
George Sand
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
You don't have to write to me if you don't feel like it. There's no real friendship without absolute freedom.
George Sand
When mental sickness increases until it reaches the danger point, do not exhaust yourself by efforts to trace back to original causes. Better accept them as inevitable and save your strength to fight against the effects.
George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
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
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.
George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
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
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
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
