More quotes by George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
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
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.
George Sand
Ah! that Senate is a world of ice and darkness! It votes the destruction of peoples as the simplest and wisest thing for its members themselves are moribund.
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
To eat together is one of the greatest promoters of intimacy. It is the satisfaction in common of a material necessity of existence, and if you seek a loftier meaning in it, it is a communion.
George Sand
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
Punctuation has its own philosophy, just as style does, although not as language does. Style is a good understanding of language, punctuation is a good understanding of style.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
George Sand
I'm beginning to believe that there are angels disguised as men who pass themselves off as such and who inhabit the earth for a while to console and lift up with them toward heaven the poor, exhausted and saddened souls who were ready to perish here below.
George Sand
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
living for oneself is a bad thing. The keenest intellectual pleasure comes from being able to return to the self after being absent from it for a spell. But living all the time inside the self, that most tyrannical, demanding and capricious of companions - no, one shouldn't do it.
George Sand
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
