More quotes by George Eliot
A man never lies with more delicious languor under the influence of a passion than when he has persuaded himself that he shall subdue it to-morrow.
George Eliot
When a workman knows the use of his tools, he can make a door as well as a window.
George Eliot
Primary (the LDS Church's Sunday school for children) is where you go to do with somebody else's mother the things you would do with your own mother if she weren't so busy teaching Primary.
George Eliot
Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
George Eliot
There is no short-cut no patent tram-road, to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of old time.
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
We could never have loved the earth so well if we had no childhood in it if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass . . .
George Eliot
There's no disappointment in memory, and one's exaggerations are always on the good side.
George Eliot
History repeats itself.
George Eliot
Every man who is not a monster, a mathematician, or a mad philosopher, is the slave of some woman or other.
George Eliot
People are so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fool's caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else's are transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone are rosy.
George Eliot
It is impossible, to me at least, to be poetical in cold weather.
George Eliot
After all, the true seeing is within.
George Eliot
... indefinite visions of ambition are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly agreeable.
George Eliot
I like not only to be loved, but to be told that I am loved the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave.
George Eliot
Say I love you to those you love. The eternal silence is long enough to be silent in, and that awaits us all.
George Eliot
It is difficult for woman to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
George Eliot
But how little we know what would make paradise for our neighbours! We judge from our own desires, and our neighbours themselves are not always open enough even to throw out a hint of theirs.
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
There is heroism even in the circles of hell for fellow-sinners who cling to each other in the fiery whirlwind and never recriminate.
George Eliot
