The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart. - George Sand

"One is happy as a result of one's own efforts once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness: simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self denial to a point, love of work, and above all, a clear conscience."

"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved."

"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved."

"Women love always: when earth slips from them, they take refuge in heaven."

"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."
