More quotes by George Eliot
All our ignorance brings us closer to death.
George Eliot
Susceptible persons are more affected by a change of tone that by unexpected words.
George Eliot
I at least have so much to do in unraveling certain human lots, and seeing how they were woven and interwoven, that all the light I can command must be concentrated on this particular web, and not dispersed over that tempting range of relevancies called the universe.
George Eliot
If I got places, sir, it was because I made myself fit for 'em. If you want to slip into a round hole, you must first make a ball of yourself that's where it is.
George Eliot
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.
George Eliot
It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.
George Eliot
I found it better for my soul to be humble before the mysteries o' God's dealings, and not be making a clatter about what I could never understand.
George Eliot
As to memory, it is known that this frail faculty naturally lets drop the facts which are less flattering to our self-love - when it does not retain them carefully as subjects not to be approached, marshy spots with a warning flag over them.
George Eliot
Those bitter sorrows of childhood!-- when sorrow is all new and strange, when hope has not yet got wings to fly beyond the days and weeks, and the space from summer to summer seems measureless.
George Eliot
The best travel is that which one can take by one's own fireside. In memory or imagination.
George Eliot
Examining the world in order to find consolation is very much like looking carefully over the pages of a great book in order to find our own name . ... Whether we find what we want or not, our preoccupation has hindered us from a true knowledge of the contents.
George Eliot
To most mortals there is a stupidity which is unendurable and a stupidity which is altogether acceptable - else, indeed, what would become of social bonds?
George Eliot
What if my words Were meant for deeds.
George Eliot
To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul.
George Eliot
It's no trifle at her time at her time of life to part with a doctor who knows her constitution.
George Eliot
It is as useless to fight against the interpretations of ignorance as to whip the fog.
George Eliot
in certain crises direct expression of sympathy is the least possible to those who most feel sympathy.
George Eliot
History repeats itself.
George Eliot
But I think it is hardly an argument against a man's general strength of character, that he should be apt to be mastered by love. A fine constitution doesn't insure one against small-pox or any other of those inevitable diseases. A man may be very firm in other matters, and yet be under a sort of witchery from a woman.
George Eliot
Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour's buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder.
George Eliot
