There's many a good bit o' work done with a sad heart.
George Eliot
Image
Duty has a trick of behaving unexpectedly -- something like a heavy friend whom we have amiably asked to visit us, and who breaks his leg within our gates.
George Eliot
Image
Say I love you to those you love. The eternal silence is long enough to be silent in, and that awaits us all.
George Eliot
Image
What is your religion? I mean-not what you know about religion but the belief that helps you most?
George Eliot

Whatever be thy fate today, Remember, this will pass away!
George Eliot
Image
Ignorant kindness may have the effect of cruelty but to be angry with it as if it were direct cruelty would be an ignorant unkindness.
George Eliot
Image
... there is a lightness about the feminine mind--a touch and go--music, the fine arts, that kind of thing--they should study those up to a certain point, women should but in a light way, you know.
George Eliot

For pain must enter into its glorified life of memory before it can turn into compassion.
George Eliot
