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
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
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
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
Nowadays it seems that moral education is no longer considered necessary. Attention is wholly centered on intelligence, while the heart life is ignored.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
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
No one makes a revolution by himself and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.
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
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
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
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
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
