More quotes by 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
Years do not always make age.
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
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
Nature distributes her favors unequally.
George Sand

George Sand

George Sand

George Sand

George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
George Sand
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
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
Ah! that Senate is a world of ice and darkness! It votes the destruction of peoples as the simplest and wisest thing for its members themselves are moribund.
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
No human creature can give orders to love.
George Sand
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
