What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined - to strengthen each other - to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.

More quotes by 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
For years after Lydgate remembered the impression produced in him by this involuntary appeal-this cry from soul to soul, without other consciousness than their moving with kindred natures in the same embroiled medium, the same troublous fitfully-illuminated life.
George Eliot
Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.
George Eliot
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.
George Eliot
... one always believes one's own town to be more stupid than any other.
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
If I got places, sir, it was because I made myself fit for 'em. If you want to slip into a round hole, you must first make a ball of yourself that's where it is.
George Eliot
In the love of a brave and faithful man there is always a strain of maternal tenderness he gives out again those beams of protecting fondness which were shed on him as he lay on his mother's knee.
George Eliot
Often the soul is ripened into fuller goodness while age has spread an ugly film, so that mere glances can never divine the preciousness of the fruit.
George Eliot
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
George Eliot
It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.
George Eliot
As leopard feels at home with leopard.
George Eliot
A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.
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
Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.
George Eliot
A suppressed resolve will betray itself in the eyes.
George Eliot
Hear Everything and judge for yourself
George Eliot
It always seemed to me a sort of clever stupidity only to have one sort of talent - like a carrier pigeon.
George Eliot
We are all of us born in moral stupidity, taking the world as an udder to feed our supreme selves
George Eliot
Obligation may be stretched till it is no better than a brand of slavery stamped on us when we were too young to know its meaning.
George Eliot
