More quotes by George Sand
Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.
George Sand
Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself
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
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
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

Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
George Sand
The lessons of experience are always learned too late.
George Sand
Ever since time began the world has seemed stupid to those who aren't stupid themselves. It was to avoid that annoyance that I became stupid myself, as fast as ever I could. Sheer egoism, no doubt.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
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
No human creature can give orders to love.
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
