More quotes by George Eliot
Shepperton Church was a very different looking building five-and-twenty years ago. To be sure, its substantial stone tower looks at you through its intelligent eye, the clock, with the friendly expression of former days but in everything else what changes!
George Eliot
It is impossible, to me at least, to be poetical in cold weather.
George Eliot
Among all the many kinds of first love, that which begins in childish companionship is the strongest and most enduring: when passion comes to unite its force to long affection, love is at its spring-tide.
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
Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!
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
You must mind and not lower the Church in people's eyes by seeming to be frightened about it for such a little thing.
George Eliot
There's folks as make bad butter and trusten to the salt t' hide it.
George Eliot
Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration? After our subtlest analysis of the mental process, we must still say that our highest thoughts and our best deeds are all given to us.
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
What believer sees a disturbing omission or infelicity? The text, whether of prophet or of poet, expands for whatever we can put into it, and even his bad grammar is sublime.
George Eliot
Old men's eyes are like old men's memories they are strongest for things a long way off.
George Eliot
If a man goes a little too far along a new road, it is usually himself that he harms more than any one else.
George Eliot
We are all of us born in moral stupidity, taking the world as an udder to feed our supreme selves
George Eliot
There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but a hatred of all injury.
George Eliot
It is very difficult to be learned it seems as if people were worn out on the way to great thoughts, and can never enjoy them because they are too tired.
George Eliot
No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.
George Eliot
Speech is but broken light upon the depth Of the unspoken.
George Eliot
These gems have life in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of.
George Eliot
It is a sad weakness in us, after all, that the thought of a man's death hallows him anew to us as if life were not sacred too.
George Eliot
