More quotes by George Sand
Art belongs to all times and to all countries its special benefit is precisely to be still living when everything else seems dying that is why Providence shields it from too personal or too general passions, and grants it a patient and persevering organization, durable sensibility, and the contemplative sense in which lies invincible faith.
George Sand
It is always the best friends who are neglected and ignored.
George Sand
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
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
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
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
Ah! that Senate is a world of ice and darkness! It votes the destruction of peoples as the simplest and wisest thing for its members themselves are moribund.
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
almost all novels are love stories.
George Sand
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
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
Party politics is now a real farce.
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
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
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
