More quotes by 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
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
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
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
Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself
George Sand
Weeds are omnipresent errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.
George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
George Sand
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
Art belongs to all times and to all countries its special benefit is precisely to be still living when everything else seems dying that is why Providence shields it from too personal or too general passions, and grants it a patient and persevering organization, durable sensibility, and the contemplative sense in which lies invincible faith.
George Sand
No human creature can give orders to love.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
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
It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
