George Eliot
Better a false belief than no belief at all.
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
We want people to feel with us more than to act for us.
George Eliot
A proud woman who has learned to submit carries all her pride to the reinforcement of her submission, and looks down with severe superiority on all feminine assumption as unbecoming.
George Eliot
I easily sink into mere absorption of what other minds have done, and should like a whole life for that alone.
George Eliot
