More quotes by George Eliot
Trouble's made us kin.
George Eliot
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.
George Eliot
Anger seek it prey,-- Something to tear with sharp-edged tooth and claw, Like not to go off hungry, leaving Love To feast on milk and honeycomb at will.
George Eliot
The mind that is too ready at contempt and reprobation is, I may say, as a clenched fist that can give blows, but is shut up from receiving and holding ought that is precious.
George Eliot
The worst of misery Is when a nature framed for noblest things Condemns itself in youth to petty joys, And, sore athirst for air, breathes scanty life Gasping from out the shallows.
George Eliot
The beauty of a lovely woman is like music.
George Eliot

George Eliot
Let my body dwell in poverty, and my hands be as the hands of the toiler but let my soul be as a temple of remembrance where the treasures of knowledge enter and the inner sanctuary is hope.
George Eliot

George Eliot
Perhaps the wind Wails so in winter for the summers dead, And all sad sounds are nature's funeral cries For what has been and is not.
George Eliot
The bow always strung ... will not do.
George Eliot
Our virtues are dearer to us the more we have had to suffer for them. It is the same with our children. All profound affection entertains a sacrifice. Our thoughts are often worse than we are, just as they are often better.
George Eliot
One's self-satisfaction is an untaxed kind of property which it is very unpleasant to find deprecated.
George Eliot
When one wanted one's interests looking after whatever the cost, it was not so well for a lawyer to be over honest, else he might not be up to other people's tricks.
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
The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice.
George Eliot
Mighty is the force of motherhood! It transforms all things by its vital heat.
George Eliot
