George Eliot
Mankind is not disposed to look narrowly into the conduct of great victors when their victory is on the right side.
George Eliot
Shall we, because we walk on our hind feet, assume to ourselves only the privilege of imperishability?
George Eliot
I always think the flowers can see us, and know what we are thinking about.
George Eliot
In so complex a thing as human nature, we must consider it is hard to find rules without exception.
