More quotes by George Eliot
Alas! the scientific conscience had got into the debasing company of money obligation and selfish respects.
George Eliot
If I have read religious history aright, faith, hope, and charity have not always been found in a direct ratio with a sensibility to the three concords and it is possible, thank heaven! to have very erroneous theories and very sublime feelings.
George Eliot
Hopes have precarious life. They are oft blighted, withered, snapped sheer off In vigorous growth and turned to rottenness.
George Eliot
Everybody liked better to conjecture how the thing was, than simply to know it for conjecture soon became more confident than knowledge, and had a more liberal allowance for the incompatible.
George Eliot
The sublime delight of truthful speech to one who has the great gift of uttering it, will make itself felt even through the pangs of sorrow.
George Eliot
To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it, and so quick to feel, that discernment is but a hand playing with finely-ordered variety on the chords of emotion--a soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge.
George Eliot
There's times when the crockery seems alive, an' flies out o' your hand like a bird. It's like the glass, sometimes, 'ull crack as it stands. What is to be broke will be broke.
George Eliot
History repeats itself.
George Eliot
No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you.
George Eliot
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
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
Our thoughts are often worse than we are.
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
To see an enemy humiliated gives a certain contentment, but this is jejune compared with the highly blent satisfaction of seeing him humiliated by your benevolent action or concession on his behalf. That is the sort of revenge which falls into the scale of virtue.
George Eliot
There are glances of hatred that stab, and raise no cry of murder.
George Eliot
I easily sink into mere absorption of what other minds have done, and should like a whole life for that alone.
George Eliot
The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.
George Eliot
It's a father's duty to give his sons a fine chance.
George Eliot
Iteration, like friction, is likely to generate heat instead of progress.
George Eliot
The purifying influence of public confession springs from the fact, that by it the hope in lies is forever swept away, and the soul recovers the noble attitude of simplicity.
George Eliot
