More quotes by 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
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
George Sand
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
There is only one sex. A man and a woman are so entirely the same thing that one can scarcely understand the subtle reasons for sex distinctions with which our minds are filled.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
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
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
George Sand
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
George Sand
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.
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
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
Punctuation has its own philosophy, just as style does, although not as language does. Style is a good understanding of language, punctuation is a good understanding of style.
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
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself
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
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
