We are overhasty to speak as if God did not manifest himself by our silent feeling, and make his love felt through ours.

More quotes by George Eliot
There's no disappointment in memory, and one's exaggerations are always on the good side.
George Eliot
Better a false belief than no belief at all.
George Eliot
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
George Eliot
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
George Eliot
The tendency toward good in human nature has a force which no creed can utterly counteract, and which insures the ultimate triumph of that tendency over all dogmatic perversions.
George Eliot
People who live at a distance are naturally less faulty than those immediately under our own eyes.
George Eliot
If I could only fancy myself clever, it would be better, but to be a failure of Nature and to know it is not a comfortable lot. It is the last lesson one learns, to be contented with one's inferiority -- but it must be learned.
George Eliot
I love not to be choked with other men's thoughts.
George Eliot
I found it better for my soul to be humble before the mysteries o' God's dealings, and not be making a clatter about what I could never understand.
George Eliot
... when one's outward lot is perfect, the sense of inward imperfection is the more pressing.
George Eliot
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
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
The best happiness will be to escape the worst misery.
George Eliot
So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world.
George Eliot
Wear a smile and have friends wear a scowl and have wrinkles.
George Eliot
Much of our waking experience is but a dream in the daylight.
George Eliot
Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.
George Eliot
It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.
George Eliot
The rich ate and drank freely, accepting gout and apoplexy as things that ran mysteriously in respectable families.
George Eliot
Family likeness has often a deep sadness in it. Nature, that great tragic dramatist, knits us together by bone and muscle, and divides us by the subtler web of our brains blends yearning and repulsion and ties us by our heart-strings to the beings that jar us at every movement.
George Eliot
