The sense of an entailed disad...

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

No man is matriculated to the ...

No man is matriculated to the art of life till he has been well tempted.

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

Hatred is like fire, it makes ...

Hatred is like fire, it makes even light rubbish deadly.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Of a truth, Knowledge is power...

Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Is not this a true autumn day?...

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one's very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive au

It is good to be helpful and kindly, but don't give yourself to be melted into candle grease for the benefit of the tallow trade.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Great feelings will often take...

Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is seldom that the miserabl...

It is seldom that the miserable of the world can help regarding their misery as a wrong inflicted by those who are less miserable.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The years seem to rush by now,...

The years seem to rush by now, and I think of death as a fast approaching end of a journey-double and treble reason for loving as well as working while it is day.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

As they who make Good luck a g...

As they who make Good luck a god count all unlucky men.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is an uneasy lot at best, t...

It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The only failure one should fe...

The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A woman's hopes are woven of s...

A woman's hopes are woven of sunbeams; a shadow annihilates them.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Having once embarked on your m...

Having once embarked on your marital voyage, it is impossible not to be aware that you make no way and the sea is not within sight; that in fact, you are exploring an enclosed basin.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A friend is one to whom one ma...

A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I like not only to be loved, b...

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

But the effect of her being on...

But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The difficult task of knowing ...

The difficult task of knowing another soul is not for young gentlemen whose consciousness is chiefly made up of their own wishes.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Poor fellow! I think he is in ...

Poor fellow! I think he is in love with you.' I am not aware of it. And to me it is one of the most odious things in a girl's life, that there must always be some supposition of falling in love coming between her and any man who is kind to her... I have no ground for the nonsensical vanity of fancying everybody who comes near me is in love with me.
