More quotes by George Sand
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.
George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
The marriage vow is an absurdity imposed by society.
George Sand
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
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
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
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
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
Humanity is outraged in me and with me.
George Sand
Love without reverence and enthusiasm is only friendship.
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
a woman, when she is heroic, is not heroic by halves.
George Sand
Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
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
We do not precisely enjoy liberty at the Figaro. M. de Latouche, our worthy director (ah! you should know the fellow), is always hanging over us, cutting, pruning, right or wrong, imposing upon us his whims, his aberrations, his fancies, and we have to write as he bids.
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 know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
George Sand
It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand
