More quotes by George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
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
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
It is always the best friends who are neglected and ignored.
George Sand

George Sand
We do not precisely enjoy liberty at the Figaro. M. de Latouche, our worthy director (ah! you should know the fellow), is always hanging over us, cutting, pruning, right or wrong, imposing upon us his whims, his aberrations, his fancies, and we have to write as he bids.
George Sand
And I refused to make any sacrifices for nothing on earth seemed more valuable than my peace of mind, my pleasure and my acclaim.
George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
No human creature can give orders to love.
George Sand
