George Eliot

George Eliot
O the anguish of that thought that we can never atone to our dead for the stinted affection we gave them, for the light answers we returned to their plaints or their pleadings, for the little reverence we showed to that sacred human soul that lived so close to us, and was the divinest thing God had given us to know!
George Eliot

It always seemed to me a sort of clever stupidity only to have one sort of talent - like a carrier pigeon.
George Eliot
We cannot reform our forefathers.
George Eliot
It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.
George Eliot
The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.
George Eliot
Trouble comes to us all in this life: we set our hearts on things which it isn't God's will for us to have, and then we go sorrowing.
George Eliot
Oh, child, men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness.
George Eliot
There is a sort of subjection which is the peculiar heritage of largeness and of love and strength is often only another name for willing bondage to irremediable weakness.
George Eliot
