No one makes a revolution by himself and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.

More quotes by George Sand
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
And I refused to make any sacrifices for nothing on earth seemed more valuable than my peace of mind, my pleasure and my acclaim.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
Some say that cats are devils, but they behave badly only when they are alone. When they are among us cats are angels.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
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
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
George Sand
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
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
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
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.
George Sand
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
When mental sickness increases until it reaches the danger point, do not exhaust yourself by efforts to trace back to original causes. Better accept them as inevitable and save your strength to fight against the effects.
George Sand
