More quotes by George Eliot
Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.
George Eliot
Human experience is usually paradoxical.
George Eliot
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.
George Eliot
We look at the one little woman's face we love, as we look at the face of our mother earth, and see all sorts of answers to our own yearnings.
George Eliot
A woman's rank Lies in the fulness of her womanhood: Therein alone she is royal.
George Eliot
It is not true that a man's intellectual power is, like the strength of a timber beam, to be measured by its weakest point.
George Eliot
Where women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike.
George Eliot
When we are young we think our troubles a mighty business - that the world is spread out expressly as a stage for the particular drama of our lives and that we have a right to rant and foam at the mouth if we are crossed. I have done enough of that in my time.
George Eliot
You are discontented with the world because you can't get just the small things that suit your pleasure, not because it's a world where myriads of men and women are ground by wrong and misery, and tainted with pollution.
George Eliot
I had some ambition. I meant everything to be different with me. I thought I had more strength and mastery. But the most terrible obstacles are such as nobody can see except oneself.
George Eliot
One way of getting an idea of our fellow-countrymen's miseries is to go and look at their pleasures.
George Eliot
No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.
George Eliot
You know I have duties──we both have duties──before which feeling must be sacrificed.
George Eliot
O the anguish of the thought that we can never atone to our dead for the stinted affection we gave them.
George Eliot
It is a common sentence that knowledge is power but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls down.
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
Doubtless a great anguish may do the work of years, and we may come out from that baptism of fire with a soul full of new awe and new pity.
George Eliot
Whatever may be the success of my stories, I shall be resolute in preserving my incognito, having observed that a nom de plume secures all the advantages without the disagreeables of reputation.
George Eliot
Who can know how much of his most inward life is made up of the thoughts he believes other men to have about him, until that fabric of opinion is threatened with ruin?
George Eliot
You must love your work and not always be looking over the edge of it wanting your play to begin.
George Eliot
