George Sand

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

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Admiration and familiarity are strangers.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?
