More quotes by George Eliot
In bed our yesterdays are too oppressive: if a man can only get up, though it be but to whistle or to smoke, he has a present which offers some resistance to the past—sensations which assert themselves against tyrannous memories.
George Eliot
When you get me a good man made out of arguments, I will get you a good dinner with reading you the cookery book.
George Eliot
How could a man be satisfied with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he's chosen from among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him. . . .
George Eliot
The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character.
George Eliot
I like trying to get pregnant. I'm not so sure about childbirth.
George Eliot
It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.
George Eliot
We are overhasty to speak as if God did not manifest himself by our silent feeling, and make his love felt through ours.
George Eliot
Unwonted circumstances may make us all rather unlike ourselves: there are conditions under which the most majestic person is obliged to sneeze, and our emotions are liable to be acted on in the same incongruous manner.
George Eliot
Surely it is not true blessedness to be free of sorrow while there is sorrow and sin in the world. Sorrow is a part of love and love does not seek to throw it off.
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
I'd sooner have one real grief on my mind than twenty false. It's better to know one's robbed than to think one's going to be murdered.
George Eliot
Doesn't this quote just call up feelings of comfort and home? Comparing friendship to the nest a bird lives in and builds with loving determination reminds me that having a solid relationship takes work and dedication. And yet, when you succeed in crafting a friendship, you can rest in the comfort it provides.
George Eliot
It is always good to know, if only in passing, charming human beings. It refreshes one like flowers and woods and clear brooks.
George Eliot
Our consciences are not all of the same pattern.
George Eliot
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
George Eliot
What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of our life is gone, and we are all one with each other in primitive mortal needs?
George Eliot
A maggot must be born i' the rotten cheese to like it.
George Eliot
It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.
George Eliot
But is it what we love, or how we love, That makes true good?
George Eliot
Folks as have no mind to be o' use have allays the luck to be out o' the road when there's anything to be done.
George Eliot
