Quote

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

faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
Image
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.

Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
Image
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
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.

Image
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.

It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
Image
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.

Image
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.
