More quotes by George Eliot
Every man who is not a monster, a mathematician, or a mad philosopher, is the slave of some woman or other.
George Eliot
Brothers are so unpleasant.
George Eliot
The memory has as many moods as the temper, and shifts its scenery like a diorama.
George Eliot
It is in the nature of foolish reasonings to seem good to the foolish reasoner.
George Eliot
No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.
George Eliot
It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self.
George Eliot
Starting a long way off the true point, and proceeding by loops and zigzags , we now and then arrive just where we ought to be.
George Eliot
The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
George Eliot
A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed recipe.
George Eliot

George Eliot
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
It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.
George Eliot
When I married Humphrey I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I couldn't have the end without them.
George Eliot
After all, the true seeing is within.
George Eliot
The most powerful movement of feeling with a liturgy is the prayer which seeks for nothing special, but is a yearning to escape from the limitations of our own weakness and an invocation of all Good to enter and abide with us.
George Eliot
Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.
George Eliot
I have the conviction that excessive literary production is a social offence.
George Eliot
Family likeness has often a deep sadness in it. Nature, that great tragic dramatist, knits us together by bone and muscle, and divides us by the subtler web of our brains blends yearning and repulsion and ties us by our heart-strings to the beings that jar us at every movement.
George Eliot
Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration?
George Eliot
So deeply inherent is it in this life of ours that men have to suffer for each other's sins, so inevitably diffusive is human suffering, that even justice makes its victims, and we can conceive no retribution that does not spread beyond its mark in pulsations of unmerited pain.
George Eliot
