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
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
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
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
George Sand
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
No human creature can give orders to love.
George Sand
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.
George Sand
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
When mental sickness increases until it reaches the danger point, do not exhaust yourself by efforts to trace back to original causes. Better accept them as inevitable and save your strength to fight against the effects.
George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
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
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
