More quotes by George Eliot
It's no trifle at her time at her time of life to part with a doctor who knows her constitution.
George Eliot
You are discontented with the world because you can't get just the small things that suit your pleasure, not because it's a world where myriads of men and women are ground by wrong and misery, and tainted with pollution.
George Eliot
In the first moments when we come away from the presence of death, every other relation to the living is merged, to our feeling, in the great relation of a common nature and a common destiny.
George Eliot
The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.
George Eliot
Oh, child, men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness.
George Eliot
Life was never anything but a perpetual see-saw between gravity and jest.
George Eliot

George Eliot
The rich ate and drank freely, accepting gout and apoplexy as things that ran mysteriously in respectable families.
George Eliot
What a different result one gets by changing the metaphor!
George Eliot
Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers but dress in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.
George Eliot
... the business of life shuts us up within the environs of London and within sight of human advancement, which I should be so very glad to believe in without seeing.
George Eliot
Who can prove Wit to be witty when with deeper ground Dulness intuitive declares wit dull?
George Eliot
As to memory, it is known that this frail faculty naturally lets drop the facts which are less flattering to our self-love - when it does not retain them carefully as subjects not to be approached, marshy spots with a warning flag over them.
George Eliot
When the animals entered the Ark in pairs, one may imagine that allied species made much private remark on each other, and were tempted to think that so many forms feeding on the same store of fodder were eminently superfluous, as tending to diminish the rations.
George Eliot
A maggot must be born i' the rotten cheese to like it.
George Eliot
One way of getting an idea of our fellow-countrymen's miseries is to go and look at their pleasures.
George Eliot
