More quotes by George Eliot
It is as useless to fight against the interpretations of ignorance as to whip the fog.
George Eliot
No compliment can be eloquent, except as an expression of indifference.
George Eliot
I'll tell you what's the greatest power under heaven, and that is public opinion-the ruling belief in society about what is right and what is wrong, what is honourable and what is shameful. That's the steam that is to work the engines.
George Eliot
Whatever be thy fate today, Remember, this will pass away!
George Eliot
I love not to be choked with other men's thoughts.
George Eliot
It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.
George Eliot
Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
George Eliot
The purifying influence of public confession springs from the fact, that by it the hope in lies is forever swept away, and the soul recovers the noble attitude of simplicity.
George Eliot
Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
George Eliot
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
George Eliot
There is no hour that has not its births of gladness and despair, no morning brightness that does not bring new sickness to desolation as well as new forces to genius and love. There are so many of us, and our lots are so different, what wonder that Nature's mood is often in harsh contrast with the great crisis of our lives?
George Eliot
Knightly love is blent with reverence As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.
George Eliot
We could never have loved the earth so well if we had no childhood in it if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass . . .
George Eliot
What is your religion? I mean-not what you know about religion but the belief that helps you most?
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
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
Kisses honeyed by oblivion.
George Eliot
A man's a man. But when you see a king, you see the work of many thousand men.
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
You must learn to deal with the odd and even in life, as well as in figures.
George Eliot
