More quotes by 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
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
almost all novels are love stories.
George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
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
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
There is only one sex. A man and a woman are so entirely the same thing that one can scarcely understand the subtle reasons for sex distinctions with which our minds are filled.
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
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
And I refused to make any sacrifices for nothing on earth seemed more valuable than my peace of mind, my pleasure and my acclaim.
George Sand
