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
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Image
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.

Image
Talent, will and genius are natural phenomena like the lake, the volcano, the mountain, the wind, the star, the cloud.
George Sand
Image
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
Some say that cats are devils, but they behave badly only when they are alone. When they are among us cats are angels.
George Sand
Image
All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
Image
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
Image
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
George Sand
Image
Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.
George Sand
Image
Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.
