George Eliot
Image
Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.
George Eliot
Image
The commonest man, who has his ounce of sense and feeling, is conscious of the difference between a lovely, delicate woman and a coarse one. Even a dog feels a difference in her presence.
George Eliot
Image
Half the sorrows of women would be averted if they could repress the speech they know to be useless-nay, the speech they have resolved not to utter.
George Eliot
Image
Many an irritating fault, many an unlovely oddity, has come of a hard sorrow.
George Eliot
Image
To have suffered much is like knowing many languages. Thou hast learned to understand all.
George Eliot
Image
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
George Eliot
