There was no gleam, no shadow...

There was no gleam, no shadow, for the heavens, too, were one still, pale cloud; no sound or motion in anything but the dark river that flowed and moaned like an unresting sorrow.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

That quiet mutual gaze of a t...

That quiet mutual gaze of a trusting husband and wife is like the first moment of rest or refuge from a great weariness or a great danger-not to be interfered with by speech or action which would distract the sensations from the fresh enjoyment of repose.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Her own misery filled her hea...

Her own misery filled her heart—there was no room in it for other people's sorrow.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I couldn't live in peace if I...

I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a willful sin between myself and God.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Well, well, my boy, if good l...

Well, well, my boy, if good luck knocks at your door, don't you put your head out at window and tell it to be gone about its business, that's all.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Women know no perfect love:
...

Women know no perfect love:
Loving the strong, they can forsake the strong;
Man clings because the being whom he loves
Is weak and needs him.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is nothing that will ki...

There is nothing that will kill a man so soon as having nobody to find fault with but himself.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Trouble comes to us all in th...

Trouble comes to us all in this life: we set our hearts on things which it isn't God's will for us to have, and then we go sorrowing.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our dead are never dead to us...

Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them: they can be injured by us, they can be wounded; they know all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I know forgiveness is a man's...

I know forgiveness is a man's duty, but, to my thinking, that can only mean as you're to give up all thoughts o' taking revenge: it can never mean as you're t' have your old feelings back again, for that's not possible.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Doubtless a great anguish may...

Doubtless a great anguish may do the work of years, and we may come out from that baptism of fire with a soul full of new awe and new pity.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Among all the many kinds of f...

Among all the many kinds of first love, that which begins in childish companionship is the strongest and most enduring: when passion comes to unite its force to long affection, love is at its spring-tide.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

You must love your work, and ...

You must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting your play to begin. And the other is, you must not be ashamed of your work, and think it would be more honorable to you to be doing something else. You must have a pride in your own work and in learning to do it well.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I suppose it was that in cour...

I suppose it was that in courtship everything is regarded as provisional and preliminary, and the smallest sample of virtue or accomplishment is taken to guarantee delightful stores which the broad leisure of marriage will reveal. But the door-sill of marriage once crossed, expectation is concentrated on the present. Having once embarked on your marital voyage, it is impossible not to be aware that you make no way and that the sea is not within sight-that, in fact, you are exploring an enclosed basin.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Oh, child, men's men: gentle ...

Oh, child, men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Would not love see returning ...

Would not love see returning penitence afar off, and fall on its neck and kiss it?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

In the schoolroom her quick m...

In the schoolroom her quick mind had taken readily that strong starch of unexplained rules and disconnected facts which saves ignorance from any painful sense of limpness.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The sense of an entailed disa...

The sense of an entailed disadvantage - the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centered, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our passions do not live apar...

Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers but dress in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Children demand that their he...

Children demand that their heroes should be fleckless, and easily believe them so .
