More quotes by George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
Art belongs to all times and to all countries its special benefit is precisely to be still living when everything else seems dying that is why Providence shields it from too personal or too general passions, and grants it a patient and persevering organization, durable sensibility, and the contemplative sense in which lies invincible faith.
George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
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
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
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
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
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
George Sand
We must love stupid people better than ourselves are they not the really unfortunate ones of this world? Do not people without taste and without ideal grow constantly weary, rejoicing in nothing, and being quite useless here below?
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
almost all novels are love stories.
George Sand
