More quotes by George Eliot
Our thoughts are often worse than we are.
George Eliot
The commonest man, who has his ounce of sense and feeling, is conscious of the difference between a lovely, delicate woman and a coarse one. Even a dog feels a difference in her presence.
George Eliot
Few things hold the perception more thoroughly captive than anxiety about what we have got to say
George Eliot
A woman's rank Lies in the fulness of her womanhood: Therein alone she is royal.
George Eliot
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
There's many a good bit o' work done with a sad heart.
George Eliot
Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.
George Eliot
The moment of finding a fellow-creature is often as full of mingled doubt and exultation, as the moment of finding an idea.
George Eliot
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
George Eliot
In spite of his practical ability, some of his experience had petrified into maxims and quotations.
George Eliot
The soul of man, when it gets fairly rotten, will bear you all sorts of poisonous toad-stools, and no eye can see whence came the seed thereof.
George Eliot
Tis a petty kind of fame At best, that comes of making violins And saves no masses, either. Thou wilt go To purgatory none the less.
George Eliot
I have nothing to tell except travellers' stories, which are always tiresome, like the description of a play which was very exciting to those who saw it.
George Eliot
Death is the only physician, the shadow of his valley the only journeying that will cure us of age and the gathering fatigue of years.
George Eliot
There is no killing the suspicion that deceit has once begotten.
George Eliot
Death was not to be a leap: it was to be a long descent under thickening shadows.
George Eliot
Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know it doesn't do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.
George Eliot
The Jews are among the aristocracy of every land if a literature is called rich in the possession of a few classic tragedies, what shall we say to a national tragedy lasting for fifteen hundred years, in which the poets and the actors were also the heroes.
George Eliot
Truth has rough flavours if we bite it through.
George Eliot
The memory has as many moods as the temper, and shifts its scenery like a diorama.
George Eliot
