Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
Image
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
George Sand
Image
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.
George Sand
Image
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
Image
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
Image
God has written in the law of nature that when two people are joined in love or friendship, one must always give his heart more perfectly than the other.
George Sand
Image
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
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
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
Image
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
Image
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand
Image
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
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
living for oneself is a bad thing. The keenest intellectual pleasure comes from being able to return to the self after being absent from it for a spell. But living all the time inside the self, that most tyrannical, demanding and capricious of companions - no, one shouldn't do it.
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
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
Image
... 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
Image
Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.
George Sand
Image
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
George Sand
Image
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
