George Eliot
The select natures who pant after the ideal, and find nothing in pantaloons or petticoats great enough to command their reverence and love, are curiously in unison with the narrowest and pettiest.
George Eliot
Starting a long way off the true point, and proceeding by loops and zigzags , we now and then arrive just where we ought to be.
George Eliot
It is difficult for woman to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
George Eliot
Blameless people are always the most exasperating.
George Eliot
Can any man or woman choose duties? No more than they can choose their birthplace or their father and mother.
George Eliot
Oh may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence.
George Eliot
One way of getting an idea of our fellow-countrymen's miseries is to go and look at their pleasures.
George Eliot
