"Fame and admiration weigh not a feather..." - Quote by George Sand

“Humanity is outraged in me and with me.”

“Ah! that Senate is a world of ice and darkness! It votes the destruction of peoples as the simplest and wisest thing; for its members themselves are moribund.”

“Heavens! whatever possesses us, here below, that we mutually torment ourselves, sourly reproach our mutual faults, and mercilessly condemn all that is not cut according to our pattern?”

“I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.”

“They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.”

“Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet, And I am proof against their enmity.”

“Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.”

“What wealth is it to have such friends that we cannot think of them without elevation!”

“I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.”
