For what we call illusions ar...

For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities - a willing movement of a man's soul with the larger sweep of the world's forces - a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Imagination is a licensed tre...

Imagination is a licensed trespasser: it has no fear of dogs, but may climb over walls and peep in at windows with impunity.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Minds fettered by this doctri...

Minds fettered by this doctrine no longer inquire concerning a proposition whether it is attested by sufficient evidence, but whether it accords with Scripture; they do not search for facts as such, but for facts that will bear out their doctrine. It is easy to see that this mental habit blunts not only the perception of truth, but the sense of truthfulness, and that the man whose faith drives him into fallacies treads close upon the precipice of falsehood.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

She was no longer struggling ...

She was no longer struggling against the perception of facts, but adjusting herself to their clearest perception.

I shall do everything it becomes me to do.

Starting a long way off the true point, and proceeding by loops and zigzags , we now and then arrive just where we ought to be.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is the moment when our res...

It is the moment when our resolution seems about to become irrevocable--when the fatal iron gates are about to close upon us--that tests our strength. Then, after hours of clear reasoning and firm conviction, we snatch at any sophistry that will nullify our long struggles, and bring us the defeat that we love better than victory.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The sublime delight of truthful speech to one who has the great gift of uttering it, will make itself felt even through the pangs of sorrow.

There are various orders of beauty, causing men to make fools of themselves in various styles.

You know I have duties??we both have duties??before which feeling must be sacrificed.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The beauty of a lovely woman ...

The beauty of a lovely woman is like music ... the rounded neck, the dimpled arm, move us by something more than their prettiness--by their close kinship with all we have known of tenderness and peace.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker.

Well, I aren't like a bird-clapper, forced to make a rattle when the wind blows on me. I can keep my own counsel when there's no good i' speaking.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

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 1236 quotes

I have the conviction that excessive literary production is a social offense. ... Everyone who contributes to the 'too much' of literature is doing grave social injury.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Say "I love you" to those you...

Say "I love you" to those you love. The eternal silence is long enough to be silent in, and that awaits us all.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Do we not all agree to call r...

Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration? After our subtlest analysis of the mental process, we must still say that our highest thoughts and our best deeds are all given to us.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is impossible, to me at least, to be poetical in cold weather.

It is not true that a man's intellectual power is, like the strength of a timber beam, to be measured by its weakest point.
