More quotes by George Sand
All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.
George Sand
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
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand

George Sand

George Sand
Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.
George Sand
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
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
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
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
