It is the way with half the truth amidst which we live, that it only haunts us and makes dull pulsations that are never born into sound.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The very truth hath a colour f...

The very truth hath a colour from the disposition of the utterer.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

That farewell kiss which resem...

That farewell kiss which resembles greeting, that last glance of love which becomes the sharpest pang of sorrow.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

She was no longer wrestling wi...

She was no longer wrestling with the grief,
but could sit down with it as a lasting companion
and make it a sharer in her thoughts.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Any coward can fight a battle ...

Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning; but give me the man who has the pluck to fight when he's sure of losing.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

We have had an unspeakably del...

We have had an unspeakably delightful journey, one of those journeys which seem to divide one's life in two, by the new ideas they suggest and the new views of interest they open.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Life is measured by the rapidi...

Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Children demand that their her...

Children demand that their heroes should be freckle less, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

No soul is desolate as long as...

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

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is, I fear, but a vain show...

It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, ''Know thyself,'' and too often leads to a self- estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Might, could, would - they are...

Might, could, would - they are contemptible auxiliaries.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

We have no right to come forwa...

We have no right to come forward and urge wider changes for good, until we have tried to alter the evils which lie under our own hands.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A mother's yearning feels the ...

A mother's yearning feels the presence of the cherished child even in the degraded man.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

What a wretched lot of old shr...

What a wretched lot of old shrivelled creatures we shall be by-and-by. Never mind - the uglier we get in the eyes of others, the lovelier we shall be to each other; that has always been my firm faith about friendship.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Gossip is a sort of smoke that...

Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Joy is the best of wine....

Joy is the best of wine.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is no sort of wrong deed...

There is no sort of wrong deed of which a man can bear the punishment alone; you can't isolate yourself and say that the evil that is in you shall not spread. Men's lives are as thoroughly blended with each other as the air they breathe; evil spreads as necessarily as disease.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our thoughts are often worse than we are.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Speech is often barren; but si...

Speech is often barren; but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg; and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Uncomfortable thoughts must be...

Uncomfortable thoughts must be got rid of by good intentions for the future.
