More quotes by George Eliot
There is no general doctrine which is not capable of eating out our morality if unchecked by the deep-seated habit of direct fellow-feeling with individual fellow-men.
George Eliot
When we are suddenly released from an acute absorbing bodily pain, our heart and senses leap out in new freedom we think even the noise of streets harmonious, and are ready to hug the tradesman who is wrapping up our change.
George Eliot
As to memory, it is known that this frail faculty naturally lets drop the facts which are less flattering to our self-love - when it does not retain them carefully as subjects not to be approached, marshy spots with a warning flag over them.
George Eliot
To most mortals there is a stupidity which is unendurable and a stupidity which is altogether acceptable - else, indeed, what would become of social bonds?
George Eliot
Enveloped in a common mist, we seem to walk in clearness ourselves, and behold only the mist that enshrouds others.
George Eliot
Ignorance ... is a painless evil so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
George Eliot
'Character, says Novalis, in one of his questionable aphorisms - character is destiny'.
George Eliot
For years after Lydgate remembered the impression produced in him by this involuntary appeal-this cry from soul to soul, without other consciousness than their moving with kindred natures in the same embroiled medium, the same troublous fitfully-illuminated life.
George Eliot
Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.
George Eliot
Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans - which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.
George Eliot
Loquacity with tongue or pen is its own reward -- or, punishment.
George Eliot
It is never too late to be who you want to be.
George Eliot
It is a vain thought to flee from the work that God appoints us, for the sake of finding a greater blessing, instead of seeking it where alone it is to be found - in loving obedience.
George Eliot
Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.
George Eliot
The first sense of mutual love excludes other feelings it will have the soul all to itself.
George Eliot
It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.
George Eliot
Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them: they can be injured by us, they can be wounded they know all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence.
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
Surely it is not true blessedness to be free of sorrow while there is sorrow and sin in the world. Sorrow is a part of love and love does not seek to throw it off.
George Eliot
It is one thing to see your road, another to cut it.
George Eliot
