More quotes by George Sand
No one makes a revolution by himself and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.
George Sand
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
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
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
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
It is always the best friends who are neglected and ignored.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
