More quotes by George Eliot
It is strange how deeply colours seem to penetrate one, like scent.
George Eliot
The commonest man, who has his ounce of sense and feeling, is conscious of the difference between a lovely, delicate woman and a coarse one. Even a dog feels a difference in her presence.
George Eliot
Your trouble's easy borne when everybody gives it a lift for you.
George Eliot
Souls have complexions too: what will suit one will not suit another
George Eliot
Oh may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence.
George Eliot
How could a man be satisfied with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he's chosen from among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him. . . .
George Eliot
When I married Humphrey I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I couldn't have the end without them.
George Eliot
What a different result one gets by changing the metaphor!
George Eliot
We are not apt to fear for the fearless, when we are companions in their danger.
George Eliot
Let my body dwell in poverty, and my hands be as the hands of the toiler but let my soul be as a temple of remembrance where the treasures of knowledge enter and the inner sanctuary is hope.
George Eliot
Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions they pass no criticisms.
George Eliot
Quarrel? Nonsense we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?
George Eliot
I flutter all ways, and fly in none.
George Eliot
Oh, child, men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness.
George Eliot
It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.
George Eliot
... as usual I am suffering much from doubt as to the worth of what I am doing and fear lest I may not be able to complete it so as to make it a contribution to literature and not a mere addition to the heap of books.
George Eliot
Among the blessings of love there is hardly one more exquisite than the sense that in uniting the beloved life to ours we can watch over its happiness, bring comfort where hardship was, and over memories of privation and suffering open the sweetest fountains of joy.
George Eliot
People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors.
George Eliot
There's times when the crockery seems alive, an' flies out o' your hand like a bird. It's like the glass, sometimes, 'ull crack as it stands. What is to be broke will be broke.
George Eliot
An ass may bray a good while before he shakes the stars down.
George Eliot
