More quotes by George Eliot
Fine art, poetry, that kind of thing, elevates a nation.
George Eliot
... it is because sympathy is but a living again through our own past in a new form, that confession often prompts a response of confession.
George Eliot
Susceptible persons are more affected by a change of tone that by unexpected words.
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
But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
George Eliot
It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.
George Eliot
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.
George Eliot
There's no disappointment in memory, and one's exaggerations are always on the good side.
George Eliot
Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans - which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.
George Eliot
Husbands are an inferior class of men, who require keeping in order.
George Eliot
When one wanted one's interests looking after whatever the cost, it was not so well for a lawyer to be over honest, else he might not be up to other people's tricks.
George Eliot
I found it better for my soul to be humble before the mysteries o' God's dealings, and not be making a clatter about what I could never understand.
George Eliot
Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.
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
The first sense of mutual love excludes other feelings it will have the soul all to itself.
George Eliot
The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.
George Eliot
It is difficult for woman to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
George Eliot
... when one's outward lot is perfect, the sense of inward imperfection is the more pressing.
George Eliot
So deeply inherent is it in this life of ours that men have to suffer for each other's sins, so inevitably diffusive is human suffering, that even justice makes its victims, and we can conceive no retribution that does not spread beyond its mark in pulsations of unmerited pain.
George Eliot
Human experience is usually paradoxical.
George Eliot
