More quotes by George Eliot
The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.
George Eliot
Those who trust us educate us.
George Eliot
Conscientious people are apt to see their duty in that which is the most painful course.
George Eliot
Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.
George Eliot
Her future, she thought, was likely to be worse than her past, for after her years of contented renunciation, she had slipped back into desire and longing she found joyless days of distasteful occupation harder and harder she found the image of the intense and varied life she yearned for, and despaired of, becoming more and more importunate.
George Eliot
Beauty is part of the finished language by which goodness speaks.
George Eliot
It is difficult for woman to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
George Eliot
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.
George Eliot
May every soul that touches mine - be it the slightest contact - get there from some good some little grace one kindly thought one aspiration yet unfelt one bit of courage for the darkening sky one gleam of faith to brave the thickening ills of life one glimpse of brighter skies beyond the gathering mists - to make this life worthwhile.
George Eliot
Our consciences are not all of the same pattern.
George Eliot
In the man whose childhood has known caresses and kindness, there is always a fiber of memory that can be touched to gentle issues.
George Eliot
Blows are sarcasms turned stupid.
George Eliot
Love at its highest flood rushes beyond its object, and loses itself in the sense of divine mystery.
George Eliot
A maggot must be born i' the rotten cheese to like it.
George Eliot
We are contented with our day when we have been able to bear our grief in silence, and act as if we were not suffering.
George Eliot
A good horse makes short miles.
George Eliot
Human feeling is like the mighty rivers that bless the earth: it does not wait for beauty — it flows with resistless force and brings beauty with it.
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
Death is the only physician, the shadow of his valley the only journeying that will cure us of age and the gathering fatigue of years.
George Eliot
There is no hour that has not its births of gladness and despair, no morning brightness that does not bring new sickness to desolation as well as new forces to genius and love. There are so many of us, and our lots are so different, what wonder that Nature's mood is often in harsh contrast with the great crisis of our lives?
George Eliot
