Image
No human being can control love, and no one is to blame either for feeling it or for losing it. What alone degrades a woman is falsehood.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
Image
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
Image
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
Image
The most honest of men is the one who thinks and acts best, but the most powerful is the one who writes and speaks best.
George Sand
Image
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
Image
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
Image
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
Image
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
Image
Weeds are omnipresent errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.
George Sand
Image
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
Image
We must love stupid people better than ourselves are they not the really unfortunate ones of this world? Do not people without taste and without ideal grow constantly weary, rejoicing in nothing, and being quite useless here below?
