More quotes by George Sand
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
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
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
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
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
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
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
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
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
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
Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect
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 high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
