More quotes by 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
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
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
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
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
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
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
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
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
No human being can control love, and no one is to blame either for feeling it or for losing it. What alone degrades a woman is falsehood.
George Sand
The masses are still ungrateful or ignorant. They prefer murder, poisonings, and crimes generally to a literature possessed of style and feeling.
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
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
George Sand
Some say that cats are devils, but they behave badly only when they are alone. When they are among us cats are angels.
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
