More quotes by George Sand
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
... 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
We must love stupid people better than ourselves are they not the really unfortunate ones of this world? Do not people without taste and without ideal grow constantly weary, rejoicing in nothing, and being quite useless here below?
George Sand
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.
George Sand
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
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
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
George Sand
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
Punctuation has its own philosophy, just as style does, although not as language does. Style is a good understanding of language, punctuation is a good understanding of style.
George Sand
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.
George Sand
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
