George Eliot
The memory has as many moods as the temper, and shifts its scenery like a diorama.

George Eliot
... it is because sympathy is but a living again through our own past in a new form, that confession often prompts a response of confession.
George Eliot
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
George Eliot
Some folks' tongues are like the clocks as run on strikin', not to tell you the time o' the day, but because there's summat wrong i' their own inside.
George Eliot
There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.
George Eliot
One has to spend many years in learning how to be happy.
George Eliot
What a different result one gets by changing the metaphor!
George Eliot
Folks as have no mind to be o' use have allays the luck to be out o' the road when there's anything to be done.
George Eliot
