More quotes by George Eliot
in certain crises direct expression of sympathy is the least possible to those who most feel sympathy.
George Eliot
When one is grateful for something too good for common thanks, writing is less unsatisfactory than speech-one does not, at least, hear how inadequate the words are.
George Eliot
For character too is a process and an unfolding. . . among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful. . . .
George Eliot
I am open to conviction on all points except dinner and debts. I hold that the one must be eaten and the other paid.
George Eliot
Wit is a form of force that leaves the limbs at rest.
George Eliot
Perhaps there is no time in a summer's day more cheering, than when the warmth of the sun is just beginning to triumph over the freshness of the morning--when there is just a lingering hint of early coolness to keep off languor under the delicious influence of warmth.
George Eliot
Her little butterfly soul fluttered incessantly between memory and dubious expectation.
George Eliot
The tread Of coming footsteps cheats the midnight watcher Who holds her heart and waits to hear them pause, And hears them never pause, but pass and die.
George Eliot
Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning but give me the man who has the pluck to fight when he's sure of losing.
George Eliot
The last refuge of intolerance is in not tolerating the intolerant.
George Eliot
Hear Everything and judge for yourself
George Eliot
Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.
George Eliot
He who rules must fully humor as much as he commands.
George Eliot
A man deep-wounded may feel too much pain To feel much anger.
George Eliot
The law and medicine should be very serious professions to undertake, should they not? People's lives and fortunes depend on them.
George Eliot
Correct English is the slang of prigs.
George Eliot
There are natures in which, if they love us, we are conscious of having a sort of baptism and consecration.
George Eliot
You may try — but you can never imagine what it is to have a man's force of genius in you, and yet to suffer the slavery of being a girl.
George Eliot
Quarrel? Nonsense we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?
George Eliot
That's what a man wants in a wife, mostly he wants to make sure one fool tells him he's wise.
George Eliot
