More quotes by George Eliot
There was no gleam, no shadow, for the heavens, too, were one still, pale cloud no sound or motion in anything but the dark river that flowed and moaned like an unresting sorrow.
George Eliot
Our consciences are not all of the same pattern.
George Eliot
A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman's life, and exalts habit into partnership with the soul's highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.
George Eliot
It is one thing to see your road, another to cut it.
George Eliot
Say I love you to those you love. The eternal silence is long enough to be silent in, and that awaits us all.
George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
There's folks as make bad butter and trusten to the salt t' hide it.
George Eliot
Old men's eyes are like old men's memories they are strongest for things a long way off.
George Eliot
The very truth hath a colour from the disposition of the utterer.
George Eliot
Her little butterfly soul fluttered incessantly between memory and dubious expectation.
George Eliot
I will to make life less bitter for a few within my reach.
George Eliot
That by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don't quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil -- widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.
George Eliot
In our spring-time every day has its hidden growths in the mind, as it has in the earth when the little folded blades are getting ready to pierce the ground.
George Eliot
