George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
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
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.

No religion can be built on force.
