More quotes by George Eliot
I like to read about Moses best, in th' Old Testament. He carried a hard business well through, and died when other folks were going to reap the fruits a man must have courage to look after his life so, and think what'll come f it after he's dead and gone.
George Eliot
Somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass and it was all semicolons and parentheses.
George Eliot
Much of our waking experience is but a dream in the daylight.
George Eliot
I've had my say out, and I shall be the' easier for't all my life. There's no pleasure i' living, if you're to be corked up forever, and only dribble your mind out by the sly, like a leaky barrel.
George Eliot

George Eliot
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
George Eliot
Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration?

George Eliot
As they who make Good luck a god count all unlucky men.
George Eliot
No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.
George Eliot
The beauty of a lovely woman is like music.
George Eliot
Confound you handsome young fellows! You think of having it all your own way in the world. You don't understand women. They don't admire you half so much as you admire yourselves.
George Eliot
bad literature of the sort called amusing is spiritual gin.
George Eliot
Mankind is not disposed to look narrowly into the conduct of great victors when their victory is on the right side.
George Eliot
A proud heart and a lofty mountain are never fruitful.
George Eliot
As leopard feels at home with leopard.
George Eliot
Don't seem to he on the lookout for crows, else you'll set other people watching.
George Eliot
It's a strange thing to think of a man as can lift a chair with his teeth, and walk fifty mile on end, trembling and turning hot and cold at only a look from one woman out of all the rest i' the world. It's a mystery we can give no account of.
George Eliot
