Quote

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.

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
Image
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
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
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.

We do not precisely enjoy liberty at the Figaro. M. de Latouche, our worthy director (ah! you should know the fellow), is always hanging over us, cutting, pruning, right or wrong, imposing upon us his whims, his aberrations, his fancies, and we have to write as he bids.
George Sand
Image

Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
George Sand
Image
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
Image
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
Image
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
Image
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
Image
Heavens! whatever possesses us, here below, that we mutually torment ourselves, sourly reproach our mutual faults, and mercilessly condemn all that is not cut according to our pattern?
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
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.

No human creature can give orders to love.

The lessons of experience are always learned too late.

The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.

The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!
