More quotes by George Eliot
Brothers are so unpleasant.
George Eliot
Expenditure--like ugliness and errors--becomes a totally new thing when we attach our own personality to it, and measure it by that wide difference which is manifest (in our own sensations) between ourselves and others.
George Eliot
Who can know how much of his most inward life is made up of the thoughts he believes other men to have about him, until that fabric of opinion is threatened with ruin?
George Eliot
The beauty of a lovely woman is like music.
George Eliot
There is heroism even in the circles of hell for fellow-sinners who cling to each other in the fiery whirlwind and never recriminate.
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
That farewell kiss which resembles greeting, that last glance of love which becomes the sharpest pang of sorrow.
George Eliot
There's truth in wine, and there may be some in gin and muddy beer but whether it's truth worth my knowing, is another question.

George Eliot
History repeats itself.
George Eliot
With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man's past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame.
George Eliot
A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.
George Eliot
The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words.
George Eliot
Confound you handsome young fellows! You think of having it all your own way in the world. You don't understand women. They don't admire you half so much as you admire yourselves.
George Eliot
Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending.
George Eliot
The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.
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
