More quotes by George Sand
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
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
I'm beginning to believe that there are angels disguised as men who pass themselves off as such and who inhabit the earth for a while to console and lift up with them toward heaven the poor, exhausted and saddened souls who were ready to perish here below.
George Sand
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
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
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
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
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
No religion can be built on force.
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
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
