'Character, says Novalis, in one of his questionable aphorisms - character is destiny'.
George Eliot
Image
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
George Eliot
Image
Veracity is a plant of paradise, and the seeds have never flourished beyond the walls.
George Eliot
Image
There is no general doctrine which is not capable of eating out our morality if unchecked by the deep-seated habit of direct fellow-feeling with individual fellow-men.
George Eliot
Image
A proud woman who has learned to submit carries all her pride to the reinforcement of her submission, and looks down with severe superiority on all feminine assumption as unbecoming.
George Eliot
Image
Oh may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence.
George Eliot
Image
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
George Eliot

Hear Everything and judge for yourself
George Eliot

It is time the clergy are told that thinking men, after a close examination of that doctrine, pronounce it to be subversive of true moral development and, therefore, positively noxious.
George Eliot
Image
Consequences are unpitying.
George Eliot
Image
The thing we look forward to often comes to pass, but never precisely in the way we have imagined to ourselves.
George Eliot
Image
That is the bitterest of all,--to wear the yoke of our own wrong-doing.
George Eliot
Image
No matter whether failure came A thousand different times, For one brief moment of success, Life rang its golden chimes.
George Eliot
Image
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
Image
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
George Eliot
Image
But I think it is hardly an argument against a man's general strength of character, that he should be apt to be mastered by love. A fine constitution doesn't insure one against small-pox or any other of those inevitable diseases. A man may be very firm in other matters, and yet be under a sort of witchery from a woman.
George Eliot
Image
Oh, sir, the loftiest hopes on earth Draw lots with meaner hopes: heroic breasts, Breathing bad air, run risk of pestilence Or, lacking lime-juice when they cross the Line, May languish with the scurvy.
George Eliot
