George Eliot
Image
A suppressed resolve will betray itself in the eyes.
George Eliot

Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again the parted hills are left scarred if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.

George Eliot
Image
There are new eras in one's life that are equivalent to youth-are something better than youth.
George Eliot
Image
When the animals entered the Ark in pairs, one may imagine that allied species made much private remark on each other, and were tempted to think that so many forms feeding on the same store of fodder were eminently superfluous, as tending to diminish the rations.
George Eliot
Image
... happy husbands and wives can hear each other say the same thing over and over again without being tired.
George Eliot
Image
We cannot reform our forefathers.
George Eliot
Image
For character too is a process and an unfolding. . . among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful. . . .
George Eliot
Image
But what we strive to gratify, though we may call it a distant hope, is an immediate desire the future estate for which men drudge up city alleys exists already in their imagination and love.
