More quotes by George Eliot

George Eliot
Joy is the best of wine.
George Eliot

George Eliot
We must find our duties in what comes to us, not in what might have been.
George Eliot
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
George Eliot
Among all the many kinds of first love, that which begins in childish companionship is the strongest and most enduring: when passion comes to unite its force to long affection, love is at its spring-tide.
George Eliot
Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.
George Eliot
Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration?
George Eliot
It was one of those dangerous moments when speech is at once sincere and deceptive - when feeling, rising high above its average depth, leaves flood-marks which are never reached again.
George Eliot
