More quotes by George Eliot
Religion, like all things, begins with self, And naught is known, until one knows himself.
George Eliot
When you get me a good man made out of arguments, I will get you a good dinner with reading you the cookery book.
George Eliot
Memory, when duly impregnated with ascertained facts, is sometimes surprisingly fertile.
George Eliot
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
George Eliot
Surely it is not true blessedness to be free of sorrow while there is sorrow and sin in the world. Sorrow is a part of love and love does not seek to throw it off.
George Eliot
It is very difficult to be learned it seems as if people were worn out on the way to great thoughts, and can never enjoy them because they are too tired.
George Eliot
Breed is stronger than pasture.
George Eliot
There was no gleam, no shadow, for the heavens, too, were one still, pale cloud no sound or motion in anything but the dark river that flowed and moaned like an unresting sorrow.
George Eliot
What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?
George Eliot
Veracity is a plant of paradise, and the seeds have never flourished beyond the walls.
George Eliot
Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour's buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder.
George Eliot
Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning.
George Eliot
Does any one suppose that private prayer is necessarily candid--necessarily goes to the roots of action! Private prayer is inaudible speech, and speech is representative: who can represent himself just as he is, even in his own reflections?
George Eliot
If a man goes a little too far along a new road, it is usually himself that he harms more than any one else.
George Eliot
When the soul is just liberated from the wretched giant's bed of dogmas on which it has been racked and stretched ever since it began to think, there is a feeling of exultation and strong hope.
George Eliot
There's many a good bit o' work done with a sad heart.
George Eliot
Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending.
George Eliot
The right word is always a power, and communicates its definiteness to our action.
George Eliot
The worst service, I fancy, that anyone can do for truth, is to set silly people writing on its behalf.
George Eliot
But faithfulness can feed on suffering, And knows no disappointment.
George Eliot
