We could never have loved the earth so well if we had no childhood in it if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass . . .

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Do we not all agree to call ra...

Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Plainness has its peculiar temptations quite as much as beauty.

Best friend, my well-spring in the wilderness!

Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral.

One can say everything best over a meal.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

No one who has ever known what...

No one who has ever known what it is to lose faith in a fellow-man whom he has profoundly loved and reverenced, will lightly say that the shock can leave the faith in the Invisible Goodness unshaken. With the sinking of high human trust, the dignity of life sinks too; we cease to believe in our own better self, since that also is part of the common nature which is degraded in our thought; and all the finer impulses of the soul are dulled.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Hopes have precarious life.

Hopes have precarious life.
They are oft blighted, withered, snapped sheer off
In vigorous growth and turned to rottenness.

Life's a vast sea
That does its mighty errand without fail,
Painting in unchanged strength though waves are changing.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

But is it what we love, or how...

But is it what we love, or how we love,
That makes true good?

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

Affection is the broadest basis of a good life.

I like not only to be loved, but to be told that I am loved; the realm of
silence is large enough beyond the grave.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Surely it is not true blessedness to be free of sorrow while there is sorrow and sin in the world. Sorrow is a part of love and love does not seek to throw it off.

To an old memory like mine the present days are but as a little water poured on the deep.

Memory, when duly impregnated with ascertained facts, is sometimes surprisingly fertile.

Vague memories hang about the mind like cobwebs.

There are answers which, in turning away wrath, only send it to the other end of the room, and to have a discussion coolly waived when you feel that justice is all on your own side is even more exasperating in marriage than in philosophy.
