George Eliot
I flutter all ways, and fly in none.
George Eliot
I care only to know, if possible, the lasting meaning that lies in all religious doctrine from the beginning till now.
George Eliot
All honour and reverence to the divine beauty of form! Let us cultivate it to the utmost in men, women and children -- in our gardens and in our houses. But let us love that other beauty too, which lies in no secret of proportion but in the secret of deep human sympathy.
George Eliot
Somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass and it was all semicolons and parentheses.
George Eliot

George Eliot
Deeds are the pulse of Time, his beating life, And righteous or unrighteous, being done, Must throb in after-throbs till Time itself Be laid in stillness, and the universe Quiver and breathe upon no mirror more.
George Eliot
It is impossible, to me at least, to be poetical in cold weather.
George Eliot
I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
George Eliot
I've had my say out, and I shall be the' easier for't all my life. There's no pleasure i' living, if you're to be corked up forever, and only dribble your mind out by the sly, like a leaky barrel.
George Eliot
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
George Eliot
Hostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.
