More quotes by George Eliot
We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it.
George Eliot
When God makes His presence felt through us, we are like the burning bush: Moses never took any heed what sort of bush it was—he only saw the brightness of the Lord.
George Eliot
I don't mind how many letters I receive from one who interests me as much as you do. The receptive part of correspondence I can carry on with much alacrity. It is writing answers that I groan over.
George Eliot
Often the soul is ripened into fuller goodness while age has spread an ugly film, so that mere glances can never divine the preciousness of the fruit.
George Eliot
You must love your work and not always be looking over the edge of it wanting your play to begin.
George Eliot
We are not apt to fear for the fearless, when we are companions in their danger.
George Eliot
Kisses honeyed by oblivion.
George Eliot
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.
George Eliot
To have suffered much is like knowing many languages. Thou hast learned to understand all.
George Eliot
One has to spend many years in learning how to be happy.
George Eliot
A maggot must be born i' the rotten cheese to like it.
George Eliot
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
George Eliot
Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
George Eliot
Hold up your head! You were not made for failure, you were made for victory. Go forward with a joyful confidence.
George Eliot
Knightly love is blent with reverence As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.
George Eliot
Among all the many kinds of first love, that which begins in childish companionship is the strongest and most enduring: when passion comes to unite its force to long affection, love is at its spring-tide.
George Eliot
I've had my say out, and I shall be the' easier for't all my life. There's no pleasure i' living, if you're to be corked up forever, and only dribble your mind out by the sly, like a leaky barrel.
George Eliot
I like to read about Moses best, in th' Old Testament. He carried a hard business well through, and died when other folks were going to reap the fruits a man must have courage to look after his life so, and think what'll come f it after he's dead and gone.
George Eliot
It is strange how deeply colours seem to penetrate one, like scent.
George Eliot
Few things hold the perception more thoroughly captive than anxiety about what we have got to say
George Eliot
