More quotes by George Eliot
bad literature of the sort called amusing is spiritual gin.
George Eliot
There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.
George Eliot
What are a handful of reasonable men against a crowd with stones in their hands?
George Eliot
There is no general doctrine which is not capable of eating out our morality if unchecked by the deep-seated habit of direct fellow-feeling with individual fellow-men.
George Eliot
When gratitude has become a matter of reasoning there are many ways of escaping from its bonds.
George Eliot
... the fallibility of human brains is in nothing more obvious than in proof reading.
George Eliot
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
George Eliot
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
George Eliot
The vainest woman is never thoroughly conscious of her beauty till she is loved by the man who sets her own passion vibrating in return.
George Eliot
Blows are sarcasms turned stupid.
George Eliot
There's many a good bit o' work done with a sad heart.
George Eliot
All honour and reverence to the divine beauty of form! Let us cultivate it to the utmost in men, women and children -- in our gardens and in our houses. But let us love that other beauty too, which lies in no secret of proportion but in the secret of deep human sympathy.
George Eliot
Plainness has its peculiar temptations and vices quite as much as beauty.
George Eliot
When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.
George Eliot
It is a sad weakness in us, after all, that the thought of a man's death hallows him anew to us as if life were not sacred too.
George Eliot
Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.
George Eliot
Heaven help us, said the old religion the new one, from its very lack of that faith, will teach us all the more to help one another.
George Eliot
Poor fellow! I think he is in love with you.' I am not aware of it. And to me it is one of the most odious things in a girl's life, that there must always be some supposition of falling in love coming between her and any man who is kind to her... I have no ground for the nonsensical vanity of fancying everybody who comes near me is in love with me.
George Eliot
The first sense of mutual love excludes other feelings it will have the soul all to itself.
George Eliot
Life is very difficult. It seems right to me sometimes that we should follow our strongest feelings but then such feelings continually come across the ties that all our former life has made for us,--the ties that have made others dependent on us,--and would cut them in two.
George Eliot
