George Sand (1804 – 1876) was the pen name for the French novelist, Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin. Most of her childhood was spent at her grandmother’s estate where she developed a love of the countryside. She played a part in politics and also started her own newspaper, but is remembered most for her rustic novels, which made her one of the most popular writers in Europe during her lifetime, and one of the most remarkable writers of the European Romantic era.
Quotes by George Sand…
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it, and by no means in the way the future keeps its promises.
