More quotes by 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
But faithfulness can feed on suffering, And knows no disappointment.
George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
In our spring-time every day has its hidden growths in the mind, as it has in the earth when the little folded blades are getting ready to pierce the ground.
George Eliot
Ignorance ... is a painless evil so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
George Eliot
Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending.
George Eliot
You may try — but you can never imagine what it is to have a man's force of genius in you, and yet to suffer the slavery of being a girl.
George Eliot
Wear a smile and have friends wear a scowl and have wrinkles.
George Eliot
My childhood was full of deep sorrows - colic, whooping-cough, dread of ghosts, hell, Satan, and a Deity in the sky who was angry when I ate too much plumcake.
George Eliot
