More From George Sand
- "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."
- "Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness."
More In Experience
- "A great deal has been written in recent years about the purported lack of motivation in the children of the Negro ghettos. Little in my experience supports this, yet the phrase has been repeated endlessly, and the blame in almost all cases is placed somewhere outside the classroom."― Jonathan Kozol
- "I have a mess in my head sometimes, and there’s something very satisfying about putting it into words. Certainly it’s not something that you’re in charge of, necessarily, but writing about it, putting it into your words, can be a very powerful experience."― Carrie Fisher
- "Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern."― Alfred North Whitehead
