More quotes by George Sand
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
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

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
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
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
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
