More quotes by George Eliot
These gems have life in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of.
George Eliot
There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but a hatred of all injury.
George Eliot
Your trouble's easy borne when everybody gives it a lift for you.
George Eliot
They say fortune is a woman and capricious. But sometimes she is a good woman, and gives to those who merit.
George Eliot
Though I am not endowed with an ear to seize those earthly harmonies, which to some devout souls have seemed, as it were, the broken echoes of the heavenly choir--I apprehend that there is a law in music, disobedience whereunto would bring us in our singing to the level of shrieking maniacs or howling beasts.
George Eliot
All writing seems to me worse in the state of proof than in any other form. In manuscript one's own wisdom is rather remarkable to one, but in proof it has the effect of one's private furniture repeated in the shop windows. And then there is the sense that the worst errors will go to press unnoticed!
George Eliot
To act with doubleness towards a man whose own conduct was double, was so near an approach to virtue that it deserved to be called by no meaner name than diplomacy.
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
The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.
George Eliot
Correct English is the slang of prigs.
George Eliot
After all, the true seeing is within.
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
... indefinite visions of ambition are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly agreeable.
George Eliot
Our consciousness rarely registers the beginning of a growth within us any more than without us there have been many circulation of the sap before we detect the smallest sign of the bud.
George Eliot
A good horse makes short miles.
George Eliot
There are glances of hatred that stab, and raise no cry of murder.
George Eliot
Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?
George Eliot
Those who trust us educate us.
George Eliot
One has to spend many years in learning how to be happy.
George Eliot
Music sweeps by me as a messenger - Carrying a message that is not for me
George Eliot
