The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.

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.
