There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is no private life which...

There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is only one failure in l...

There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

We hand folks over to God's me...

We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Whether happiness may come or ...

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Rome - the city of visible his...

Rome - the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

But that intimacy of mutual em...

But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A woman's heart must be of suc...

A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed recipe.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I should like to know what is ...

I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There are some cases in which ...

There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but a hatred of all injury.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Will not a tiny speck very clo...

Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Worldly faces never look so wo...

Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I'm proof against that word fa...

I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Is it not rather what we expec...

Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Play not with paradoxes. That ...

Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Decide on what you think is ri...

Decide on what you think is right, and stick to it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It's but little good you'll do...

It's but little good you'll do a-watering the last year's crops

George Eliot 1236 quotes

With memory set smarting like ...

With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man's past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

In the multitude of middle-age...

In the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little.
