in certain crises direct expression of sympathy is the least possible to those who most feel sympathy.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Opinions: men's thoughts about great subjects. Taste: their thoughts about small ones: dress, behavior, amusements, ornaments.

Particular lies may speak a general truth.

A common fallacy: to imagine a measure will be easy because we have private motives for desiring it.

The wit of a family is usually best received among strangers.

I love words; they are the quoits, the bows, the staves that furnish the gymnasium of the mind.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

trouble always seems heavier when it is only one's thought and not one's bodily activity that is employed about it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

My books don't seem to belong ...

My books don't seem to belong to me after I have once written them; and I find myself delivering opinions about them as if I had nothing to do with them.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

All writing seems to me worse ...

All writing seems to me worse in the state of proof than in any other form. In manuscript one's own wisdom is rather remarkable to one, but in proof it has the effect of one's private furniture repeated in the shop windows. And then there is the sense that the worst errors will go to press unnoticed!

George Eliot 1236 quotes

For character too is a process...

For character too is a process and an unfolding. . . among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful. . . .

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I think what we call the dullness of things is a disease in ourselves. Else how could anyone find an intense interest in life? And many do.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is in these acts called trivialities that the seeds of joy are forever wasted, until men and women look round with haggard faces at the devastation their own waste has made, and say, the earth bears no harvest of sweetness - calling their denial knowledge.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Say 'I love you' to those you love. The eternal silence is long enough to be silent in, and that awaits us all.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one's own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

If you deliver an opinion at a...

If you deliver an opinion at all, it is mere stupidity not to do it with an air of conviction and well-founded knowledge. You make it your own in uttering it, and naturally get fond of it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is no short-cut no paten...

There is no short-cut no patent tram-road, to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of old time.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

How could a man be satisfied w...

How could a man be satisfied with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he's chosen from among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him. . . .

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Deep, unspeakable suffering ma...

Deep, unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state. Suffering can be likened to a baptism - the passing over the threshold of pain and grief and anguish to claim a new state of being.

If you could make a pudding wi' thinking o' the batter, it 'ud be easy getting dinner.
