More quotes by George Eliot
When one is grateful for something too good for common thanks, writing is less unsatisfactory than speech-one does not, at least, hear how inadequate the words are.
George Eliot
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.
George Eliot
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.
George Eliot
There are men whose presence infuses trust and reverence.
George Eliot
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
George Eliot
How unspeakably the lengthening of memories in common endears our old friends!
George Eliot
There is a sort of subjection which is the peculiar heritage of largeness and of love and strength is often only another name for willing bondage to irremediable weakness.
George Eliot
Knightly love is blent with reverence As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.
George Eliot
A fine lady is a squirrel-headed thing, with small airs and small notions about as applicable to the business of life as a pair of tweezers to the clearing of a forest.
George Eliot
May every soul that touches mine - be it the slightest contact - get there from some good some little grace one kindly thought one aspiration yet unfelt one bit of courage for the darkening sky one gleam of faith to brave the thickening ills of life one glimpse of brighter skies beyond the gathering mists - to make this life worthwhile.
George Eliot
It's a father's duty to give his sons a fine chance.
George Eliot
Obligation may be stretched till it is no better than a brand of slavery stamped on us when we were too young to know its meaning.
George Eliot
My own experience and development deepen every day my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy.
George Eliot
The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.
George Eliot
The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.
George Eliot
It is a vain thought to flee from the work that God appoints us, for the sake of finding a greater blessing, instead of seeking it where alone it is to be found - in loving obedience.
George Eliot
For years after Lydgate remembered the impression produced in him by this involuntary appeal-this cry from soul to soul, without other consciousness than their moving with kindred natures in the same embroiled medium, the same troublous fitfully-illuminated life.
George Eliot
There is no sorrow I have thought more about than that-to love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to fail.
George Eliot
It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.
George Eliot
The moment of finding a fellow-creature is often as full of mingled doubt and exultation, as the moment of finding an idea.
George Eliot
