More quotes by George Sand
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
Art belongs to all times and to all countries its special benefit is precisely to be still living when everything else seems dying that is why Providence shields it from too personal or too general passions, and grants it a patient and persevering organization, durable sensibility, and the contemplative sense in which lies invincible faith.

George Sand
Heavens! whatever possesses us, here below, that we mutually torment ourselves, sourly reproach our mutual faults, and mercilessly condemn all that is not cut according to our pattern?
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
