It must be sad to outlive aught we love.
George Eliot
Human experience is usually paradoxical.
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
Men and women are but children of a larger growth.
George Eliot
Art is the nearest thing to life it is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellow men beyond the bounds of our personal lot.
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
When we are dead : it is the living only who cannot be forgiven the living only from whom men's indulgence and reverence are held off, like the rain by the hard east wind .
George Eliot
One of the tortures of jealousy is, that it can never turn away its eyes from the thing that pains it.
George Eliot
There is no killing the suspicion that deceit has once begotten.
George Eliot
There's folks as make bad butter and trusten to the salt t' hide it.
George Eliot
It seems to me as a woman's face doesna want flowers it's almost like a flower itself.... It's like when a man's singing a good tune, you don't want t' hear bells tinkling and interfering wi' the sound.
George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
When a homemaking aunt scolds a niece for following her evangelistic passion instead of domestic pursuits, her reply is interesting. First, she clarifies that God's individual call on her doesn't condemn those in more conventional roles. Then, she says she can no more ignore the cry of the lost than her aunt can the cry of her child.
George Eliot
The early months of marriage often are times of critical tumult,--whether that of a shrimp pool or of deeper water,--which afterwards subside into cheerful peace.
George Eliot
What are a handful of reasonable men against a crowd with stones in their hands?
George Eliot
Life is very difficult. It seems right to me sometimes that we should follow our strongest feelings but then such feelings continually come across the ties that all our former life has made for us,--the ties that have made others dependent on us,--and would cut them in two.
George Eliot
Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.
George Eliot
