It is not ignoble to feel that...

It is not ignoble to feel that the fuller life which a sad experience
has brought us is worth our personal share of pain. The growth of higher feeling
within us is like the growth of faculty, bringing with it a sense of added strength.
We can no more wish to return to a narrower sympathy than painters or musicians
can wish to return to their cruder manner, or philosophers to their less complete formulas.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I'll tell you what's the great...

I'll tell you what's the greatest power under heaven, and that is public opinion-the ruling belief in society about what is right and what is wrong, what is honourable and what is shameful. That's the steam that is to work the engines.

It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

To be a poet is to have a soul...

To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it, and so quick to feel, that discernment is but a hand playing with finely-ordered variety on the chords of emotion--a soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

SelfishЂ' a judgment readily p...

SelfishЂ' a judgment readily passed by those who have never tested their own power of sacrifice.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

When one wanted one's interest...

When one wanted one's interests looking after whatever the cost, it was not so well for a lawyer to be over honest, else he might not be up to other people's tricks.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

May every soul that touches mi...

May every soul that touches mine - be it the slightest contact - get there from some good; some little grace; one kindly thought; one aspiration yet unfelt; one bit of courage for the darkening sky; one gleam of faith to brave the thickening ills of life; one glimpse of brighter skies beyond the gathering mists - to make this life worthwhile.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I always think the flowers can see us, and know what we are thinking about.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I tell you there isn't a thing...

I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The right to rebellion is the ...

The right to rebellion is the right to seek a higher rule, and not to wander in mere lawlessness.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Well, well, my boy, if good luck knocks at your door, don't you put your head out at window and tell it to be gone about its business, that's all.
