Whatever may be the success o...

Whatever may be the success of my stories, I shall be resolute in preserving my incognito, having observed that a nom de plume secures all the advantages without the disagreeables of reputation.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Fine old Christmas, with the ...

Fine old Christmas, with the snowy hair and ruddy face, had done his duty that year in the noblest fashion, and had set off his rich gifts of warmth and color with all the heightening contrast of frost and snow.

Habit is the beneficent harness of routine which enables silly men to live respectfully and unhappy men to live calmly

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Explain! Tell a man to explai...

Explain! Tell a man to explain how he dropped into hell! Explain my preference! I never had a PREFERENCE for her, any more than I have a preference for breathing. No other woman exists by the side of her. I would rather touch her hand if it were dead, than I would touch any other woman's living.

What is opportunity to the man who can't use it? An unfecundated egg, which the waves of time wash away into nonentity.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Wise books For half the truth...

Wise books For half the truths they hold are honored tombs.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Can any man or woman choose duties? No more than they can choose their birthplace or their father and mother.

What is opportunity to the man who cant use it?

Mankind is not disposed to look narrowly into the conduct of great victors when their victory is on the right side.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is no general doctrine ...

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 1236 quotes

I am not resigned: I am not sure life is long enough to learn that lesson.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

No soul is desolate as long a...

No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

How is it that the poets have...

How is it that the poets have said so many fine things about our first love, so few about our later love? Are their first poems their best? or are not those the best which come from their fuller thought, their larger experience, their deeper-rooted affections? The boy's flute-like voice has its own spring charm; but the man should yield a richer, deeper music.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is hardly any contact more depressing to a young ardent creature than that of a mind in which years full of knowledge seem to have issued in a blank absence of interest or sympathy.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

People are so ridiculous with...

People are so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fool's caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else's are transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone are rosy.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Power of generalizing gives m...

Power of generalizing gives men so much the superiority in mistake over the dumb animals.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Examining the world in order ...

Examining the world in order to find consolation is very much like looking carefully over the pages of a great book in order to find our own name . ... Whether we find what we want or not, our preoccupation has hindered us from a true knowledge of the contents.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Joy and sorrow are both my pe...

Joy and sorrow are both my perpetual companions, but the joy is called Past and the sorrow Present.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is hard to believe long to...

It is hard to believe long together that anything is "worth while," unless there is some eye to kindle in common with our own, some brief word uttered now and then to imply that what is infinitely precious to us is precious alike to another mind.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I don't mind how many letters...

I don't mind how many letters I receive from one who interests me as much as you do. The receptive part of correspondence I can carry on with much alacrity. It is writing answers that I groan over.
