More quotes by George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
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
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.

George Sand

George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
