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

George Sand

George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand

George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
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
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
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
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
I would rather believe that God did not exist than believe that he was indifferent.
George Sand
