More quotes by George Sand
Age continually alters the faces of those who think or study, and so their portraits differ from one another and don't even resemble them for very long. I dream so much and live so little that I'm sometimes only three years old. But the next day I'm three hundred, if the dream has been sombre.
George Sand
I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.
George Sand
The most honest of men is the one who thinks and acts best, but the most powerful is the one who writes and speaks best.
George Sand
Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
Whoever has loved once, knows all that life contains of sorrow and of joy.
George Sand
The trade of authorship is a violent, and indestructible obsession.
George Sand
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
honesty dies in selling itself.
George Sand
living for oneself is a bad thing. The keenest intellectual pleasure comes from being able to return to the self after being absent from it for a spell. But living all the time inside the self, that most tyrannical, demanding and capricious of companions - no, one shouldn't do it.
George Sand
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
Simplicity, a delicate silence about oneself, increases their worth and makes one love those whom one admires.
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
Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.
George Sand
Where love is absent there can be no woman.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
O heart! love is thy bane and thy antidote.
George Sand
almost all novels are love stories.
