George Sand
  • Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age.

  • The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.

  • Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.

  • Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.

  • There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
