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
Image
To eat together is one of the greatest promoters of intimacy. It is the satisfaction in common of a material necessity of existence, and if you seek a loftier meaning in it, it is a communion.

George Sand
Image
There is only one sex. A man and a woman are so entirely the same thing that one can scarcely understand the subtle reasons for sex distinctions with which our minds are filled.
George Sand
Image
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
Image
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.

Image
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand

Party politics is now a real farce.
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
Image
We do not precisely enjoy liberty at the Figaro. M. de Latouche, our worthy director (ah! you should know the fellow), is always hanging over us, cutting, pruning, right or wrong, imposing upon us his whims, his aberrations, his fancies, and we have to write as he bids.

I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
