More quotes by George Eliot
You must love your work and not always be looking over the edge of it wanting your play to begin.
George Eliot
Speech is often barren but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.
George Eliot
I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a willful sin between myself and God.
George Eliot
And when a woman's will is as strong as the man's who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.
George Eliot
If I could only fancy myself clever, it would be better, but to be a failure of Nature and to know it is not a comfortable lot. It is the last lesson one learns, to be contented with one's inferiority -- but it must be learned.
George Eliot
A maggot must be born i' the rotten cheese to like it.
George Eliot
It is impossible, to me at least, to be poetical in cold weather.
George Eliot
There is nothing that will kill a man so soon as having nobody to find fault with but himself.
George Eliot
Whatever be thy fate today, Remember, this will pass away!
George Eliot
The law and medicine should be very serious professions to undertake, should they not? People's lives and fortunes depend on them.
George Eliot
What mortal is there of us, who would find his satisfaction enhanced by an opportunity of comparing the picture he presents to himself of his doings, with the picture they make on the mental retina of his neighbours? We are poor plants buoyed up by the air-vessels of our own conceit.
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
What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known, and loved because it is known?
George Eliot
Iteration, like friction, is likely to generate heat instead of progress.
George Eliot
To the old, sorrow is sorrow to the young, it is despair.
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
Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration?
George Eliot
Among the blessings of love there is hardly one more exquisite than the sense that in uniting the beloved life to ours we can watch over its happiness, bring comfort where hardship was, and over memories of privation and suffering open the sweetest fountains of joy.
George Eliot
There is heroism even in the circles of hell for fellow-sinners who cling to each other in the fiery whirlwind and never recriminate.
George Eliot
The yoke a man creates for himself by wrong-doing will breed hate in the kindliest nature.
George Eliot
