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
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
Image
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
Image
Nature distributes her favors unequally.
George Sand
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.

No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
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
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
Image
We must love stupid people better than ourselves are they not the really unfortunate ones of this world? Do not people without taste and without ideal grow constantly weary, rejoicing in nothing, and being quite useless here below?
George Sand
Image
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
Image
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
Image
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.

Image
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
Image
The lessons of experience are always learned too late.
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.

It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.

honesty dies in selling itself.

Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
