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.

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.

No religion can be built on force.

Weeds are omnipresent errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.

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
Image
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.

Years do not always make age.
George Sand
Image
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.

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.

I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand

Humanity is outraged in me and with me.

Image
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.

Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
Image
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
Image
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
Image
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.

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!

Party politics is now a real farce.
