More quotes by 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
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
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
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
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
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
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 would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
... everyone's free to embark on either a great clipper or a little fishing boat. An artist is an explorer who oughtn't to shrink from anything: it doesn't matter whether he goes to the left or the right -- his goal sanctifies all.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
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
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry 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
