George Eliot
It's a strange thing to think of a man as can lift a chair with his teeth, and walk fifty mile on end, trembling and turning hot and cold at only a look from one woman out of all the rest i' the world. It's a mystery we can give no account of.
George Eliot
It is better - it shall be better with me because I have known you.
George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
A child, more than all other gifts That earth can offer to declining man, Brings hope with it, and forward-looking thoughts. —WORDSWORTH.
George Eliot
It is in the nature of foolish reasonings to seem good to the foolish reasoner.
George Eliot
The law and medicine should be very serious professions to undertake, should they not? People's lives and fortunes depend on them.
George Eliot
It is difficult for woman to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
George Eliot
It belongs to every large nature, when it is not under the immediate power of some strong unquestioning emotion, to suspect itself, and doubt the truth of its own impressions, conscious of possibilities beyond its own horizon.
George Eliot
It is time the clergy are told that thinking men, after a close examination of that doctrine, pronounce it to be subversive of true moral development and, therefore, positively noxious.
George Eliot
It is necessary to me, not simply to be but to utter, and I require utterance of my friends.
George Eliot
