More quotes by George Eliot

Image
May I reach That purest heaven - be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty. Be the sweet presence of a good diffused, And in the diffusion ever more intense! So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world.

Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
George Eliot
Image
We are contented with our day when we have been able to bear our grief in silence, and act as if we were not suffering.
George Eliot
Image
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

A fool or idiot is one who expects things to happen that never can happen.
George Eliot
Image
A man deep-wounded may feel too much pain To feel much anger.
