More quotes by George Sand
No one makes a revolution by himself and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
The masses are still ungrateful or ignorant. They prefer murder, poisonings, and crimes generally to a literature possessed of style and feeling.
George Sand
Party politics is now a real farce.
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
Nowadays it seems that moral education is no longer considered necessary. Attention is wholly centered on intelligence, while the heart life is ignored.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
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!
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
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
