More quotes by George Sand
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
It is always the best friends who are neglected and ignored.
George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
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
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
I'm beginning to believe that there are angels disguised as men who pass themselves off as such and who inhabit the earth for a while to console and lift up with them toward heaven the poor, exhausted and saddened souls who were ready to perish here below.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
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
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
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
To be made evident, truth must be sought for for of itself it is slow to appear, and between ourselves and God the obstacles are so many!
George Sand
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
Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
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
