More quotes by 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
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
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
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

George Sand

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
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
The lessons of experience are always learned too late.
George Sand
It is always the best friends who are neglected and ignored.
George Sand
Nowadays it seems that moral education is no longer considered necessary. Attention is wholly centered on intelligence, while the heart life is ignored.
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
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
George Sand
