It is better sometimes not to follow great reformers of abuses beyond the threshold of their homes.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

How impossible it is for stron...

How impossible it is for strong healthy people to understand the way in which bodily malaise and suffering eats at the root of one's life! The philosophy that is true - the religion that is strength to the healthy - is constantly emptiness to one when the head is distracted and every sensation is oppressive.

Souls live on in perpetual echoes.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There's times when the crockery seems alive, an' flies out o' your hand like a bird. It's like the glass, sometimes, 'ull crack as it stands. What is to be broke will be broke.

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? After our subtlest analysis of the mental process, we must still say that our highest thoughts and our best deeds are all given to us.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is not true that a man's intellectual power is, like the strength of a timber beam, to be measured by its weakest point.

The bow always strung ... will not do.

The fact is, both callers and work thicken - the former sadly interfering with the latter.

One of the tortures of jealousy is, that it can never turn away its eyes from the thing that pains it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

the usual attitude of Christians towards Jews is - I hardly know whether to say more impious or more stupid, when viewed in the light of their professed principles. ... They hardly know Christ was a Jew. And I find men, educated, supposing that Christ spoke Greek. To my feeling, this deadness to the history which has prepared half our world for us, this inability to find interest in any form of life that is not clad in the same coat-tails and flounces as our own, lies very close to the worst kind of irreligion.

I don't mind how many letters I receive from one who interests me as much as you do. The receptive part of correspondence I can carry on with much alacrity. It is writing answers that I groan over.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is pleasant to have a kind word now and then when one is not near enough to have a kind glance or a hearty shake by the hand.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I have no courage to write much unless I am written to. I soon begin to think that there are plenty of other correspondents more interesting - so if you all want to hear from me you know the conditions.

I have the conviction that excessive literary production is a social offense. ... Everyone who contributes to the 'too much' of literature is doing grave social injury.

bad literature of the sort called amusing is spiritual gin.

There's good chances and bad chances, and nobody's luck is pulled only by one string.

I take a dose of mathematics every day to prevent my brain from becoming quite soft.

I like breakfast-time better than any other moment in the day. No dust has settled on one's mind then, and it presents a clear mirror to the rays of things.

As to memory, it is known that this frail faculty naturally lets drop the facts which are less flattering to our self-love - when it does not retain them carefully as subjects not to be approached, marshy spots with a warning flag over them.
