More quotes by George Eliot
What if my words Were meant for deeds.
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
I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
George Eliot
Miserliness is a capital quality to run in families it's the safe side for madness to dip on.
George Eliot
Eros has degenerated he began by introducing order and harmony, and now he brings back chaos.
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
The yoke a man creates for himself by wrong-doing will breed hate in the kindliest nature.
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
Best friend, my well-spring in the wilderness!
George Eliot
Only those who know the supremacy of the intellectual life──the life which has a seed of ennobling thought and purpose within──can understand the grief of one who falls from that serene activity into the absorbing soul-wasting struggle with worldly annoyances.
George Eliot
Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again the parted hills are left scarred if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.
George Eliot
'Character, says Novalis, in one of his questionable aphorisms - character is destiny'.
George Eliot
History repeats itself.
George Eliot
I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
George Eliot
Those bitter sorrows of childhood!-- when sorrow is all new and strange, when hope has not yet got wings to fly beyond the days and weeks, and the space from summer to summer seems measureless.
George Eliot
Alas! the scientific conscience had got into the debasing company of money obligation and selfish respects.
George Eliot
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
George Eliot
I like not only to be loved, but to be told that I am loved the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave.
George Eliot
No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you.
George Eliot
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.
George Eliot
