It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
Image
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
Image
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand

almost all novels are love stories.
