More quotes by George Sand
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand

George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
George Sand
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
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
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
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
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
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
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
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
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
