„I am close to what is most beautiful.

Nothing gives such softness in the joints as the delightful weariness that comes from happy love. I remain in a state of rapture. Not a single cloud in this clear sky, not the smallest grain of sand in this lake.” — from George Sand’s letter, 1838

“I feel as though I am in a land to which a chance walk has led me—so beautiful, so enchanting, so delightful that I have no thought of leaving it.” — from George Sand’s letter, 1838
