Image
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.

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.

Image
No human creature can give orders to love.
George Sand
Image
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
Image
... everyone's free to embark on either a great clipper or a little fishing boat. An artist is an explorer who oughtn't to shrink from anything: it doesn't matter whether he goes to the left or the right -- his goal sanctifies all.
George Sand
Image
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
Image
There is only one sex. A man and a woman are so entirely the same thing that one can scarcely understand the subtle reasons for sex distinctions with which our minds are filled.
George Sand
Image
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
Image
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
Image
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.
