Additional quotes by George Sand

Translation: The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.

"J'ai un but, une tâche, disons le mot, une passion. Le métier d'écrire en est une violente et presque indestructible."

("I have an object, a task, let me say the word, a passion. The profession of writing is a violent and almost indestructible one.")

[Letter to Jules Boucoiran, 4 March 1831]

By prayer I do not mean a chosen arrangement of words cast toward heaven, but a silent conversation with an ideal of luminous perfection."

We cannot tear out a single page of our life, but we can throw the whole book in the fire. - George Sand
