More quotes by George Sand
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
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.
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
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
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
George Sand
Death must no longer be either the penalty for prosperity or the consolation of misery. God did not destine it to be either the punishment or the compensation for life.
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
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
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
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
No human being can control love, and no one is to blame either for feeling it or for losing it. What alone degrades a woman is falsehood.
George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
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
