George Eliot

George Eliot
It is never too late to be who you want to be.
George Eliot
The moment of finding a fellow-creature is often as full of mingled doubt and exultation, as the moment of finding an idea.
George Eliot
Anger seek it prey,-- Something to tear with sharp-edged tooth and claw, Like not to go off hungry, leaving Love To feast on milk and honeycomb at will.
George Eliot

George Eliot
