Worldly faces never look so w...

Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

How lovely the little river is, with its dark changing wavelets! It seems to me like a living companion while I wander along the bank, and listen to its low, placid voice.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our deeds are like children t...

Our deeds are like children that are born to us; they live and act apart from our own will. Nay, children may be strangled, but deeds never: they have an indestructible life both in and out of our consciousness.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

History, we know, is apt to r...

History, we know, is apt to repeat itself.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Try to take hold of your sens...

Try to take hold of your sensibility, and use it as if it were a faculty, like vision.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I would rather not be engaged...

I would rather not be engaged. When people are engaged, they begin to think of being married soon, and I should like everything to go on for a long while just as it is.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I am open to conviction on all points except dinner and debts. I hold that the one must be eaten and the other paid.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I beg your pardon: correct En...

I beg your pardon: correct English is the slang of prigs who write history and essays. And the strongest slang of all is the slang of poets.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Confound you handsome young fellows! You think of having it all your own way in the world. You don't understand women. They don't admire you half so much as you admire yourselves.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Life is like our game at whist ... I don't enjoy the game much, but I like to play my cards well, and see what will be the end of it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Few things hold the perceptio...

Few things hold the perception more thoroughly captive than anxiety about what we have got to say

George Eliot 1236 quotes

She thought it was part of th...

She thought it was part of the hardship of her life that there was laid upon her the burthen of larger wants than others seemed to feel – that she had to endure this wide hopeless yearning for that something, whatever it was, that was greatest and best on this earth.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I might mention all the divin...

I might mention all the divine charms of a bright spring day, but if you had never in your life utterly forgotten yourself in straining your eyes after the mounting lark, or in wandering through the still lanes when the fresh-opened blossoms fill them with a sacred silent beauty like that of fretted aisles, where would be the use of my descriptive catalogue?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Old men's eyes are like old m...

Old men's eyes are like old men's memories; they are strongest for things a long way off.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

When a man has seen the woman...

When a man has seen the woman whom he would have chosen if he had intended to marry speedily, his remaining a bachelor will usually depend on her resolution rather than on his.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Leisure is gone,--gone where ...

Leisure is gone,--gone where the spinning-wheels are gone, and the pack-horses, and the slow wagons, and the peddlers, who brought bargains to the door on sunny afternoons.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The mind that is too ready at...

The mind that is too ready at contempt and reprobation is, I may say, as a clenched fist that can give blows, but is shut up from receiving and holding ought that is precious.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Somebody put a drop under a m...

Somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass and it was all semicolons and parentheses.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Let my body dwell in poverty,...

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 1236 quotes

The men are mostly so slow, t...

The men are mostly so slow, their thoughts overrun 'em, an' they can only catch 'em by the tail. I can count a stocking-top while a man's getting's tongue ready; an' when he outs wi' his speech at last, there's little broth to be made on't. It's your dead chicks take the longest hatchin'.
