More quotes by George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
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
No religion can be built on force.
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
Art speaks only to the mind, whereas nature speaks to all the faculties.
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
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of 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
Ever since time began the world has seemed stupid to those who aren't stupid themselves. It was to avoid that annoyance that I became stupid myself, as fast as ever I could. Sheer egoism, no doubt.
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
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
George Sand
Weeds are omnipresent errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.
George Sand
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
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
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
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
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
