George Sand
I love everything that makes up a milieu, the rolling of the carriages and the noise of the workmen in Paris, the cries of a thousand birds in the country, the movement of the ships on the waters. I love also absolute, profound silence, and, in short, I love everything that is around me, no matter where I am.
George Sand

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
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
