More quotes by George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
God has written in the law of nature that when two people are joined in love or friendship, one must always give his heart more perfectly than the other.
George Sand
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
There is only one sex. A man and a woman are so entirely the same thing that one can scarcely understand the subtle reasons for sex distinctions with which our minds are filled.
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
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
living for oneself is a bad thing. The keenest intellectual pleasure comes from being able to return to the self after being absent from it for a spell. But living all the time inside the self, that most tyrannical, demanding and capricious of companions - no, one shouldn't do it.
George Sand
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
No human being can control love, and no one is to blame either for feeling it or for losing it. What alone degrades a woman is falsehood.
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand
You don't have to write to me if you don't feel like it. There's no real friendship without absolute freedom.
George Sand
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
George Sand
Ever since time began the world has seemed stupid to those who aren't stupid themselves. It was to avoid that annoyance that I became stupid myself, as fast as ever I could. Sheer egoism, no doubt.
George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
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
