George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand

George Sand
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
I'm beginning to believe that there are angels disguised as men who pass themselves off as such and who inhabit the earth for a while to console and lift up with them toward heaven the poor, exhausted and saddened souls who were ready to perish here below.
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
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
George Sand
