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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
To eat together is one of the greatest promoters of intimacy. It is the satisfaction in common of a material necessity of existence, and if you seek a loftier meaning in it, it is a communion.
George Sand
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
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
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
Nature distributes her favors unequally.
George Sand
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
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
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
When mental sickness increases until it reaches the danger point, do not exhaust yourself by efforts to trace back to original causes. Better accept them as inevitable and save your strength to fight against the effects.
George Sand
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
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
Art belongs to all times and to all countries its special benefit is precisely to be still living when everything else seems dying that is why Providence shields it from too personal or too general passions, and grants it a patient and persevering organization, durable sensibility, and the contemplative sense in which lies invincible faith.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
A day will come when everything in my life will be changed, when I shall do good to others, when some one will love me, when I shall give my whole heart to the man whi gives ne his neanwhile, U will suffer in silence and keep my love as a reward for him who shall set me free.
George Sand
