More quotes by George Sand
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
The most honest of men is the one who thinks and acts best, but the most powerful is the one who writes and speaks best.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
Death must no longer be either the penalty for prosperity or the consolation of misery. God did not destine it to be either the punishment or the compensation for life.
George Sand
Weeds are omnipresent errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.
George Sand
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
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
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
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
I'm beginning to believe that there are angels disguised as men who pass themselves off as such and who inhabit the earth for a while to console and lift up with them toward heaven the poor, exhausted and saddened souls who were ready to perish here below.
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
To eat together is one of the greatest promoters of intimacy. It is the satisfaction in common of a material necessity of existence, and if you seek a loftier meaning in it, it is a communion.
George Sand
No human creature can give orders to love.
