George Eliot

George Eliot
Our consciences are not all of the same pattern.
George Eliot
My own experience and development deepen every day my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy.
George Eliot
Plain women he regarded as he did the other severe facts of life, to be faced with philosophy and investigated by science.
