George Sand

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
No religion can be built on force.
George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.

George Sand
