More quotes by George Eliot
There is much pain that is quite noiseless and vibrations that make human agonies are often a mere whisper in the roar of hurrying existence.
George Eliot
It is a very good quality in a man to have a trout-stream.
George Eliot
We are not apt to fear for the fearless, when we are companions in their danger.
George Eliot
It is a vain thought to flee from the work that God appoints us, for the sake of finding a greater blessing, instead of seeking it where alone it is to be found - in loving obedience.
George Eliot
The yoke a man creates for himself by wrong-doing will breed hate in the kindliest nature.
George Eliot
May every soul that touches mine - be it the slightest contact - get there from some good some little grace one kindly thought one aspiration yet unfelt one bit of courage for the darkening sky one gleam of faith to brave the thickening ills of life one glimpse of brighter skies beyond the gathering mists - to make this life worthwhile.
George Eliot
Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know it doesn't do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.
George Eliot
The first sense of mutual love excludes other feelings it will have the soul all to itself.
George Eliot
If we use common words on a great occasion, they are the more striking, because they are felt at once to have a particular meaning, like old banners, or everyday clothes, hung up in a sacred place.
George Eliot
I shall do everything it becomes me to do.
George Eliot
The purifying influence of public confession springs from the fact, that by it the hope in lies is forever swept away, and the soul recovers the noble attitude of simplicity.
George Eliot
As to memory, it is known that this frail faculty naturally lets drop the facts which are less flattering to our self-love - when it does not retain them carefully as subjects not to be approached, marshy spots with a warning flag over them.
George Eliot
There is no short-cut no patent tram-road, to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of old time.
George Eliot
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.
George Eliot
Blows are sarcasms turned stupid.
George Eliot
People are so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fool's caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else's are transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone are rosy.
George Eliot
Her heart went out to him with a stronger movement than ever, at the thought that people would blame him. Maggie hated blame she had been blamed her whole life, and nothing had come of it but evil tempers.
George Eliot
Beauty is part of the finished language by which goodness speaks.
George Eliot
I don't feel sure about doing good in any way now everything seems like going on a mission to a people whose language I don't know.
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
