Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
George Sand
Image
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
Image
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
Image
Party politics is now a real farce.
George Sand
Image
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
Image
You don't have to write to me if you don't feel like it. There's no real friendship without absolute freedom.
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.
George Sand
Image
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
Image
Heavens! whatever possesses us, here below, that we mutually torment ourselves, sourly reproach our mutual faults, and mercilessly condemn all that is not cut according to our pattern?
George Sand
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
George Sand
Image
The lessons of experience are always learned too late.
George Sand
Image
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
Image
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
Image
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
Image
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
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
... 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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
