Image
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
Image
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.

When mental sickness increases until it reaches the danger point, do not exhaust yourself by efforts to trace back to original causes. Better accept them as inevitable and save your strength to fight against the effects.
George Sand
Image
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
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
It is always the best friends who are neglected and ignored.
George Sand
Image
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
Image
I love everything that makes up a milieu, the rolling of the carriages and the noise of the workmen in Paris, the cries of a thousand birds in the country, the movement of the ships on the waters. I love also absolute, profound silence, and, in short, I love everything that is around me, no matter where I am.

The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
