faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
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
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand
Image

George Sand
Image
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
Image
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand

As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
