More quotes by 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
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
George Sand
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
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 place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand
Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.
George Sand
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
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
Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself
George Sand
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
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
Party politics is now a real farce.
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
... 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
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
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
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
