George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand

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
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
living for oneself is a bad thing. The keenest intellectual pleasure comes from being able to return to the self after being absent from it for a spell. But living all the time inside the self, that most tyrannical, demanding and capricious of companions - no, one shouldn't do it.
George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
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
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
God has written in the law of nature that when two people are joined in love or friendship, one must always give his heart more perfectly than the other.
George Sand
The lessons of experience are always learned too late.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
