It is sad, no doubt, to exhaust one's strength and one's days in cleaving the bosom of this jealous earth, which compels us to wring from it the treasures of its fertility, when a bit of the blackest and coarsest bread is, at the end of the day's work, the sole recompense and the sole profit attaching to so arduous a toil.
George SandSex is the most respectable and holy thing in all creation, the most serious act in life.
George Sand...Je nโai pas cessรฉ de lโรชtre si cโest dโรชtre jeune que dโaimer toujours !... Lโhumanitรฉ nโest pas un vain mot. Notre vie est faite dโamour, et ne plus aimer cโest ne plus vivre." (I have never ceased to be young, if being young is always loving... Humanity is not a vain word. Our life is made of love, and to love no longer is to live no longer.)
George SandTry 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
