More quotes by George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.
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
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
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
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
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
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
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
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
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
