More quotes by George Sand
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
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
Weeds are omnipresent errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.
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
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
George Sand
The masses are still ungrateful or ignorant. They prefer murder, poisonings, and crimes generally to a literature possessed of style and feeling.
George Sand
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
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
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
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
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
