Image
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
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.

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
Image
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
Image
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.
