More quotes by George Sand
It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
Nature distributes her favors unequally.
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
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
A day will come when everything in my life will be changed, when I shall do good to others, when some one will love me, when I shall give my whole heart to the man whi gives ne his neanwhile, U will suffer in silence and keep my love as a reward for him who shall set me free.
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
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
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
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
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
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
Years do not always make age.
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
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
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
Some say that cats are devils, but they behave badly only when they are alone. When they are among us cats are angels.
