More quotes by George Sand

He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.

The Haunted Pool (1890)

He made a single instrument speak a language of infinity. He could often sum up, in ten lines that a child could play, poems of a boundless exaltation, dramas of unequalled power.

The truth is too simple: one must always get there by a complicated route.

Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.

Art is a demonstration of which nature is the proof.
