Happiness, so they say, makes one selfish... Alas! this happiness that is in store for some to the detriment of others must make one so, indeed. O my God! Shared happiness, that which one would find by working for the happiness of one's fellow men, would make man as great as his destiny on earth, as good as yourself!

Additional quotes by George Sand

"Immodest creature, you do not want a woman who will accept your faults, you want the one who pretends you are faultless – one who will caress the hand that strikes her and kiss the lips that lie to her."

(Letter, 17 June 1837)

"Let us leave political questions to be decided by the powers concerned," Sir Ralph would say, "as we have adopted a form of government which forbids us to discuss our interests ourselves. If a nation is responsible for the faults of its legislature, what one can you find that is guiltier than yours?"

Εσφαλμένη κρίση! Οι ταπεινώσεις για τα παλιά μας λάθη ήταν έργο της περηφάνειας. Ο φόβος για το μέλλον ήταν κι αυτός αλαζονεία. Πίσω, ολέθρια περηφάνεια της νεότητας! Είναι τόσο όμορφο να ξαναβρίσκεις την γαλήνη της ψυχής σου, όταν δεν πλάθεις πια ένα Θεό βίας αλλά αγάπης.
