More quotes by George Eliot
The tread Of coming footsteps cheats the midnight watcher Who holds her heart and waits to hear them pause, And hears them never pause, but pass and die.
George Eliot
There's many a good bit o' work done with a sad heart.
George Eliot
Conscientious people are apt to see their duty in that which is the most painful course.
George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
Doubtless a great anguish may do the work of years, and we may come out from that baptism of fire with a soul full of new awe and new pity.
George Eliot

George Eliot
If I got places, sir, it was because I made myself fit for 'em. If you want to slip into a round hole, you must first make a ball of yourself that's where it is.
George Eliot
Saints and martyrs had never interested Maggie so much as sages and poets.
George Eliot
Life was never anything but a perpetual see-saw between gravity and jest.
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
Our sense of duty must often wait for some work which shall take the place of dilettanteism [sic] and make us feel that the quality of our action is not a matter of indifference.
George Eliot
I flutter all ways, and fly in none.
George Eliot
Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another.
George Eliot
