More quotes by George Eliot
It is a very good quality in a man to have a trout-stream.
George Eliot
Our life is determined for us--and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing, and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do.
George Eliot
When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.
George Eliot
No story is the same to us after a lapse of time or rather we who read it are no longer the same interpreters.
George Eliot
Love at its highest flood rushes beyond its object, and loses itself in the sense of divine mystery.
George Eliot
The bow always strung ... will not do.
George Eliot
Ignorance ... is a painless evil so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
George Eliot
Best friend, my well-spring in the wilderness!
George Eliot
Music sweeps by me as a messenger - Carrying a message that is not for me
George Eliot
What a wretched lot of old shrivelled creatures we shall be by-and-by. Never mind - the uglier we get in the eyes of others, the lovelier we shall be to each other that has always been my firm faith about friendship.
George Eliot
Does any one suppose that private prayer is necessarily candid--necessarily goes to the roots of action! Private prayer is inaudible speech, and speech is representative: who can represent himself just as he is, even in his own reflections?
George Eliot
Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.
George Eliot
Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.
George Eliot
Satan was a blunderer ... who made a stupendous failure. If he had succeeded, we should all have been worshipping him, and his portrait would have been more flattering.
George Eliot
We get a deal o' useless things about us, only because we've got the money to spend.
George Eliot
There are new eras in one's life that are equivalent to youth-are something better than youth.
George Eliot
If we use common words on a great occasion, they are the more striking, because they are felt at once to have a particular meaning, like old banners, or everyday clothes, hung up in a sacred place.
George Eliot
What if my words Were meant for deeds.
George Eliot
Old men's eyes are like old men's memories they are strongest for things a long way off.
George Eliot
Unwonted circumstances may make us all rather unlike ourselves: there are conditions under which the most majestic person is obliged to sneeze, and our emotions are liable to be acted on in the same incongruous manner.
George Eliot
