George Eliot

So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world.
George Eliot
Image
Eros has degenerated he began by introducing order and harmony, and now he brings back chaos.
George Eliot
Image
Somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass and it was all semicolons and parentheses.
George Eliot
Image
Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.
George Eliot
Image
We get a deal o' useless things about us, only because we've got the money to spend.
George Eliot
Image
Those who trust us educate us.
George Eliot
Image
Speech may be barren but it is ridiculous to suppose that silence is always brooding on a nestful of eggs.
George Eliot
Image
But certain winds will make men's temper bad.
George Eliot

Mysterious haunts of echoes old and far, The voice divine of human loyalty.
George Eliot

I've been turning it over in after-dinner speeches, but it looks awkward-it's not what people are used to-it wants a good deal of Latin to make it go down.
