More quotes by George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
Death must no longer be either the penalty for prosperity or the consolation of misery. God did not destine it to be either the punishment or the compensation for life.
George Sand
The masses are still ungrateful or ignorant. They prefer murder, poisonings, and crimes generally to a literature possessed of style and feeling.
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
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
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
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
No religion can be built on force.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
To be made evident, truth must be sought for for of itself it is slow to appear, and between ourselves and God the obstacles are so many!
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
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
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
George Sand
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
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
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
