“Everything irritates me and hurts me; and since I restrain myself before people, I give way from time to time to floods of tears when it seems to me as if I should burst.”
— George Sand (1804-1876), in a letter to Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880),
Nohant, 11 March, 1870
in: “ The George Sand-Gustave Flaubert Letters”, translated from the French by A.L. McKenzie (1921)
