More quotes by George Eliot
Your trouble's easy borne when everybody gives it a lift for you.
George Eliot
If a woman's young and pretty, I think you can see her good looks all the better for her being plainly dressed.
George Eliot
There is a sort of subjection which is the peculiar heritage of largeness and of love and strength is often only another name for willing bondage to irremediable weakness.
George Eliot
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.
George Eliot
The right to rebellion is the right to seek a higher rule, and not to wander in mere lawlessness.
George Eliot
There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but a hatred of all injury.
George Eliot
It is necessary to me, not simply to be but to utter, and I require utterance of my friends.
George Eliot
There's no disappointment in memory, and one's exaggerations are always on the good side.
George Eliot
What a different result one gets by changing the metaphor!
George Eliot
In our spring-time every day has its hidden growths in the mind, as it has in the earth when the little folded blades are getting ready to pierce the ground.
George Eliot

George Eliot
In so complex a thing as human nature, we must consider it is hard to find rules without exception.
George Eliot
There is no sorrow I have thought more about than that-to love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to fail.
George Eliot
You have such strong words at command, that they make the smallest argument seem formidable.
George Eliot
You must love your work and not always be looking over the edge of it wanting your play to begin.
George Eliot
When the soul is just liberated from the wretched giant's bed of dogmas on which it has been racked and stretched ever since it began to think, there is a feeling of exultation and strong hope.
George Eliot
Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.
George Eliot
We want people to feel with us more than to act for us.
George Eliot
One has to spend many years in learning how to be happy.
George Eliot
