The floods of nonsense printed in the form of critical opinions seem to me a chief curse of the times, a chief obstacle to true culture.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A fine lady is a squirrel-head...

A fine lady is a squirrel-headed thing, with small airs and small notions; about as applicable to the business of life as a pair of tweezers to the clearing of a forest.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The commonest man, who has his ounce of sense and feeling, is conscious of the difference between a lovely, delicate woman and a coarse one. Even a dog feels a difference in her presence.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Man may content himself with the applause of the world and the homage paid to his intellect, but woman's heart has holier idols.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The best part of a woman's love is worship; but it is hard to her to be sent away with her precious spikenard rejected, and her long tresses, too, that were let fall, ready to soothe the wearied feet.

Man cannot choose his duties.

The idea of duty--that recognition of something to be lived for beyond the mere satisfaction of self--is to the moral life what the addition of a great central ganglion is to animal life.

And knows no disappointment.

Those old stories of visions and dreams guiding men have their truth; we are saved by making the future present to ourselves.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is hard to believe long together that anything is 'worth while,' unless there is some eye to kindle in common with our own, some brief word uttered now and then to imply that what is infinitely precious to us is precious alike to another mind.

Steady work turns genius to a loom.

When one is five-and-twenty, one has not chalk-stones at one's finger-ends that the touch of a handsome girl should be entirely indifferent.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

In so complex a thing as human nature, we must consider it is hard to find rules without exception.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Impatient people, according to Bacon, are like the bees, and kill themselves in stinging others.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

We judge other according to results; how else?--not knowing the process by which results are arrived at.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Leisure is gone,--gone where the spinning-wheels are gone, and the pack-horses, and the slow wagons, and the peddlers, who brought bargains to the door on sunny afternoons.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The strength of the donkey mind lies in adopting a course inversely as the arguments urged, which, well considered, requires as great a mental force as the direct sequence.
