More quotes by George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
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
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
George Sand
Some say that cats are devils, but they behave badly only when they are alone. When they are among us cats are angels.
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
The lessons of experience are always learned too late.
George Sand
Party politics is now a real farce.
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
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
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
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
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
almost all novels are love stories.
George Sand
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
George Sand
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
George Sand
Nowadays it seems that moral education is no longer considered necessary. Attention is wholly centered on intelligence, while the heart life is ignored.
George Sand
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
No human creature can give orders to love.
George Sand
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand
