More quotes by George Eliot
Some folks' tongues are like the clocks as run on strikin', not to tell you the time o' the day, but because there's summat wrong i' their own inside.
George Eliot
Pride only helps us to be generous it never makes us so, any more than vanity makes us witty.
George Eliot
Oh, child, men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness.
George Eliot
We are all of us born in moral stupidity, taking the world as an udder to feed our supreme selves
George Eliot
The mother's love is at first an absorbing delight, blunting all other sensibilities it is an expansion of the animal existence.
George Eliot
It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one's own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.
George Eliot
A man's a man. But when you see a king, you see the work of many thousand men.
George Eliot
Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending.
George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
Poetry and art and knowledge are sacred and pure.
George Eliot
Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
George Eliot
... the fallibility of human brains is in nothing more obvious than in proof reading.
George Eliot
Those bitter sorrows of childhood!-- when sorrow is all new and strange, when hope has not yet got wings to fly beyond the days and weeks, and the space from summer to summer seems measureless.
George Eliot
Plainness has its peculiar temptations and vices quite as much as beauty.
George Eliot
Knightly love is blent with reverence As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.
George Eliot
All who remember their childhood remember the strange vague sense, when some new experience came, that everything else was going to be changed, and that there would be no lapse into the old monotony.
George Eliot
It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.
George Eliot
in certain crises direct expression of sympathy is the least possible to those who most feel sympathy.
George Eliot
The vainest woman is never thoroughly conscious of her beauty till she is loved by the man who sets her own passion vibrating in return.
George Eliot
