Quote

Nowadays it seems that moral education is no longer considered necessary. Attention is wholly centered on intelligence, while the heart life is ignored.

It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
Image
... 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
Image
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
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.

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
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
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.

Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
Image
The most honest of men is the one who thinks and acts best, but the most powerful is the one who writes and speaks best.
George Sand
Image
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
Image
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
Image
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Image
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
Image
When mental sickness increases until it reaches the danger point, do not exhaust yourself by efforts to trace back to original causes. Better accept them as inevitable and save your strength to fight against the effects.
George Sand
Image
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
Image
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.

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.
