More quotes by George Eliot

Upon my word, I think the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.
George Eliot
The sweetest of all success is that which one wins by hard exertion.
George Eliot
Our consciences are not all of the same pattern.
George Eliot
How could a man be satisfied with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he's chosen from among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him. . . .
George Eliot
It is as useless to fight against the interpretations of ignorance as to whip the fog.
George Eliot
