More quotes by George Eliot
Consequences are unpitying.
George Eliot
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
George Eliot
Strong souls Live like fire-hearted suns to spend their strength In farthest striving action breathe more free In mighty anguish than in trivial ease.
George Eliot
It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one's own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.
George Eliot
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
George Eliot
The wit of a family is usually best received among strangers.
George Eliot
But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.
George Eliot
If a man goes a little too far along a new road, it is usually himself that he harms more than any one else.
George Eliot
Among all forms of mistake, prophecy is the most gratuitous.
George Eliot
I think cheerfulness is a fortune in itself.
George Eliot
The tendency toward good in human nature has a force which no creed can utterly counteract, and which insures the ultimate triumph of that tendency over all dogmatic perversions.
George Eliot
Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions they pass no criticisms.
George Eliot
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.
George Eliot
That's what a man wants in a wife, mostly he wants to make sure one fool tells him he's wise.
George Eliot
The law and medicine should be very serious professions to undertake, should they not? People's lives and fortunes depend on them.
George Eliot
Oh may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence.
George Eliot
I've been turning it over in after-dinner speeches, but it looks awkward-it's not what people are used to-it wants a good deal of Latin to make it go down.
George Eliot
It's them as take advantage that get advantage I' this world, I think: folks have to wait long enough afore it's brought to 'em.
George Eliot
Our growing thought Makes growing revelation.
George Eliot
That by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don't quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil -- widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.
George Eliot
