More quotes by George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.
George Eliot
Hear Everything and judge for yourself
George Eliot

George Eliot
The best travel is that which one can take by one's own fireside. In memory or imagination.
George Eliot

George Eliot
But faithfulness can feed on suffering, And knows no disappointment.
George Eliot

George Eliot
Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions they pass no criticisms.
George Eliot
Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know it doesn't do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.
George Eliot
Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour's buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder.
George Eliot
You are discontented with the world because you can't get just the small things that suit your pleasure, not because it's a world where myriads of men and women are ground by wrong and misery, and tainted with pollution.
George Eliot
One has to spend many years in learning how to be happy.
George Eliot
To superficial observers his chin had too vanishing an aspect, looking as if it were being gradually reabsorbed. And it did indeed cause him some difficulty about the fit of his satin stocks, for which chins were at that time useful.
George Eliot
