More quotes by George Sand
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
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
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
... love is too delicate a flower to rise again when one has trampled it under foot.
George Sand
... everyone's free to embark on either a great clipper or a little fishing boat. An artist is an explorer who oughtn't to shrink from anything: it doesn't matter whether he goes to the left or the right -- his goal sanctifies all.
George Sand
No religion can be built on force.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
Nature distributes her favors unequally.
George Sand
I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
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
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
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.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
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
