Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
Image
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
Image
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.

The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
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.

Image
Ah! that Senate is a world of ice and darkness! It votes the destruction of peoples as the simplest and wisest thing for its members themselves are moribund.
George Sand
Image
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
Image
Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.

Image
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
Image
Some say that cats are devils, but they behave badly only when they are alone. When they are among us cats are angels.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
Image
To eat together is one of the greatest promoters of intimacy. It is the satisfaction in common of a material necessity of existence, and if you seek a loftier meaning in it, it is a communion.
George Sand
Image
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.

Nature distributes her favors unequally.
