Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
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
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
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
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
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
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
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
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
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
The masses are still ungrateful or ignorant. They prefer murder, poisonings, and crimes generally to a literature possessed of style and feeling.
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
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
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
George Sand
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
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
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
