More quotes by George Eliot
To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.
George Eliot
Don't seem to he on the lookout for crows, else you'll set other people watching.
George Eliot
Things are achieved when they are well begun. The perfect archer calls the deer his own While yet the shaft is whistling.
George Eliot
How should all the apparatus of heaven and earth make poetry for a mind that had no movements of awe and tenderness, no sense of fellowship which thrills from the near to the distant, and back again from the distant to the near?
George Eliot
But faithfulness can feed on suffering, And knows no disappointment.
George Eliot
There is no hour that has not its births of gladness and despair, no morning brightness that does not bring new sickness to desolation as well as new forces to genius and love. There are so many of us, and our lots are so different, what wonder that Nature's mood is often in harsh contrast with the great crisis of our lives?
George Eliot
What if my words Were meant for deeds.
George Eliot
I like trying to get pregnant. I'm not so sure about childbirth.
George Eliot
It is impossible, to me at least, to be poetical in cold weather.
George Eliot
Everybody liked better to conjecture how the thing was, than simply to know it for conjecture soon became more confident than knowledge, and had a more liberal allowance for the incompatible.
George Eliot
The sublime delight of truthful speech to one who has the great gift of uttering it, will make itself felt even through the pangs of sorrow.
George Eliot
Our growing thought Makes growing revelation.
George Eliot
What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?
George Eliot
No story is the same to us after a lapse of time or rather we who read it are no longer the same interpreters.
George Eliot
You must learn to deal with the odd and even in life, as well as in figures.
George Eliot
The sweetest of all success is that which one wins by hard exertion.
George Eliot
There is no sorrow I have thought more about than that-to love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to fail.
George Eliot
Blameless people are always the most exasperating.
George Eliot
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
George Eliot
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.
George Eliot
