More quotes by George Sand
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
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
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
God has written in the law of nature that when two people are joined in love or friendship, one must always give his heart more perfectly than the other.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
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
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
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
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
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
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
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
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
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
