More quotes by George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
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
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
The masses are still ungrateful or ignorant. They prefer murder, poisonings, and crimes generally to a literature possessed of style and feeling.
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
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
George Sand
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
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
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
Ever since time began the world has seemed stupid to those who aren't stupid themselves. It was to avoid that annoyance that I became stupid myself, as fast as ever I could. Sheer egoism, no doubt.
George Sand
Art belongs to all times and to all countries its special benefit is precisely to be still living when everything else seems dying that is why Providence shields it from too personal or too general passions, and grants it a patient and persevering organization, durable sensibility, and the contemplative sense in which lies invincible faith.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
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
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
