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
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand

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
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
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
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
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
Weeds are omnipresent errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
The lessons of experience are always learned too late.
George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
