More quotes by 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
Age continually alters the faces of those who think or study, and so their portraits differ from one another and don't even resemble them for very long. I dream so much and live so little that I'm sometimes only three years old. But the next day I'm three hundred, if the dream has been sombre.
George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
No religion can be built on force.
George Sand
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
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
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.
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
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
almost all novels are love stories.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
