George Sand, comme les vrais critiques, possède éminemment la faculté d'admiration et cette autre, que celle-ci semble exclure, de raisonner ses sentiments. Il admire sans effort ce qui est beau ou sublime, parce qu'il crée lui-même le sublime ou le beau, parce qu'il ignore les petitesses jalouses, parce que c'est avant tout un esprit sincère et sensible. Mais en même temps parce que son talent est quelque chose de complet, il s'élève à la métaphysique du beau, il en calcule les maîtresses règles, et sans pédanterie comme sans mollesse ramène ses impressions à certains principes très-généraux et très-vrais, ses répugnances et ses affections à des lois. Ce n'est pas un rhéteur enivré de paroles, c'est un dialecticien judicieux et sensé.On trouvera dans ce volume des morceaux opposées par le sujet et qui datent d'époques bien diverses : toutes ces monographies, expressivement vivantes, ont les deux mérites suprêmes du bon sens et de la beauté. Chacune d'elles ferait la réputation d'un critique et le mettrait hors pair. Comme l'objet même, la forme varie de l'une à l'autre si l'on sent qu'elles viennent de la même main, on aperçoit aussi que cette main seule pouvait s'assouplir à des procédés si différents : c'est tantôt une familiarité enjouée, tantôt une gravité noblement et fortement savante aux souvenirs personnels et d'intimité s'adjoignent des considérations élevées ou sur les lois du beau ou sur la morale publique et privée. L'indulgence n'y fait pas tort à la rectitude, la raison à l'enthousiasme. Jeunes gens, qui voulez écrire, votre modèle est là penseurs , vous trouverez dans ce livre les vérités les plus énergiques artistes, il vous montrera par où et comment vous devez vouloir être loués. Les femmes, à leur tour, bien qu'elles aiment peu la critique, si ce n'est la critique qu'elles font elles-mêmes, y profiteront. Lorsque George Sand veut bien être familier et causer bonnement, sa conversation est l'exemple instructif du ton véritablement exquis, de la bonhomie ingénieuse, de la malice veloutée sans finauderie.GEORGE SAND, pseudonyme d'Amandine-Aurore Lucille Dupin, baronne Dudevant (1804-1876). Femme de lettres française, qui a laissé derrière elle une oeuvre romanesque remarquable, composée de contes, de nouvelles, de pièces théâtrales, de textes autobiographiques et d'une immense correspondance. Après la séparation de son mari, le baron Dudevant, un officier retiré de l¿armée, elle rentre à Paris en 1831 avec l'intention de vivre de sa plume.

The Complete Essays of Plutarch includes 133 chapters on nature, Plutarch's Symposiacs, as well as his collection of literary essays. Plutarch was a Platonist, but was open to the influence of the Peripatetics, and in some details even to Stoicism despite his criticism of their principles. He rejected only Epicureanism absolutely. He attached little importance to theoretical questions and doubted the possibility of ever solving them. He was more interested in moral and religious questions.Plutarch's writings had an enormous influence on English and French literature. Shakespeare paraphrased parts of Thomas North's translation of selected Lives in his plays, and occasionally quoted from them verbatim. Plutarch's influence declined in the 19th and 20th centuries, but it remains embedded in the popular ideas of Greek and Roman history. One of his most famous quotes was one that he included in one of his earliest works. "The world of man is best captured through the lives of the men who created history."
