The men are mostly so slow, their thoughts overrun 'em, an' they can only catch 'em by the tail. I can count a stocking-top while a man's getting's tongue ready; an' when he outs wi' his speech at last, there's little broth to be made on't. It's your dead chicks take the longest hatchin'.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Miserliness is a capital quality to run in families; it's the safe side for madness to dip on.

I wish always to be quoted as George Eliot.

It so often happens that others are measuring us by our past self while we are looking back on that self with a mixture of disgust and sorrow.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Unhappily the habit of being offensive 'without meaning it' leads usually to a way of making amends which the injured person cannot but regard as a being amiable without meaning it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I am open to conviction on all points except dinner and debts. I hold that the one must be eaten and the other paid.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I think the effective use of quotation is an important point in the art of writing. Given sparingly, quotations serve admirably as a climax or as a corroboration, but when they are long and frequent, they seriously weaken the effect of a book. We lose sight of the writer - he scatters our sympathy among others than himself - and the ideas which he himself advances are not knit together with our impression of his personality.

There is so much to read and the days are so short! I get more hungry for knowledge every day, and less able to satisfy my hunger.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I easily sink into mere absorption of what other minds have done, and should like a whole life for that alone.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Alas! the scientific conscience had got into the debasing company of money obligation and selfish respects.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Enveloped in a common mist, we seem to walk in clearness ourselves, and behold only the mist that enshrouds others.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Men and women make sad mistake...

Men and women make sad mistakes about their own symptoms, taking their vague uneasy longings, sometimes for genius, sometimes for religion, and oftener still for a mighty love.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Many an irritating fault, many...

Many an irritating fault, many an unlovely oddity, has come of a hard sorrow.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

People who live at a distance ...

People who live at a distance are naturally less faulty than those immediately under our own eyes ...

In the ages since Adam's marriage, it has been good for some men to be alone, and for some women also.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A bachelor's children are always young: they're immortal children - always lisping, waddling, helpless, and with a chance of turning out good.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

there are two ways of speaking an audience will always like: one is, to tell them what they don't understand; and the other is, to tell them what they're used to.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

even those who call themselves...

even those who call themselves 'intimate' know very little about each other - hardly ever know just how a sorrow is felt, and hurt each other by their very attempts at sympathy or consolation. We can bear no hand on our bruises.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

You are discontented with the world because you can't get just the small things that suit your pleasure, not because it's a world where myriads of men and women are ground by wrong and misery, and tainted with pollution.
