Image
It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.
George Eliot
Image
Souls have complexions too: what will suit one will not suit another
George Eliot
Image
When God makes His presence felt through us, we are like the burning bush: Moses never took any heed what sort of bush it was—he only saw the brightness of the Lord.
George Eliot
Image
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
Image
If I could only fancy myself clever, it would be better, but to be a failure of Nature and to know it is not a comfortable lot. It is the last lesson one learns, to be contented with one's inferiority -- but it must be learned.
George Eliot
Image
In spite of his practical ability, some of his experience had petrified into maxims and quotations.
George Eliot
Image
I think cheerfulness is a fortune in itself.
George Eliot
Image
Our growing thought Makes growing revelation.
George Eliot
Image
I had some ambition. I meant everything to be different with me. I thought I had more strength and mastery. But the most terrible obstacles are such as nobody can see except oneself.
George Eliot
Image
All who remember their childhood remember the strange vague sense, when some new experience came, that everything else was going to be changed, and that there would be no lapse into the old monotony.
George Eliot
Image
Memory, when duly impregnated with ascertained facts, is sometimes surprisingly fertile.
George Eliot
Image
Your trouble's easy borne when everybody gives it a lift for you.
George Eliot
Image
There is no hour that has not its births of gladness and despair, no morning brightness that does not bring new sickness to desolation as well as new forces to genius and love. There are so many of us, and our lots are so different, what wonder that Nature's mood is often in harsh contrast with the great crisis of our lives?
George Eliot
Image
We are not apt to fear for the fearless, when we are companions in their danger.
George Eliot
Image
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
George Eliot
Image
The right word is always a power, and communicates its definiteness to our action.
George Eliot
Image
O the anguish of the thought that we can never atone to our dead for the stinted affection we gave them.
George Eliot
Image
Her little butterfly soul fluttered incessantly between memory and dubious expectation.
George Eliot
Image
Man may content himself with the applause of the world and the homage paid to his intellect, but woman's heart has holier idols.
George Eliot
Image
As they who make Good luck a god count all unlucky men.
