Dark the Night, with breath a...

Dark the Night, with breath all flowers, And tender broken voice that fills With ravishment the listening hours,-- Whisperings, wooings, Liquid ripples, and soft ring-dove cooings In low-toned rhythm that love's aching stills! Dark the night Yet is she bright, For in her dark she brings the mystic star, Trembling yet strong, as is the voice of love, From some unknown afar.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

What believer sees a disturbi...

What believer sees a disturbing omission or infelicity? The text, whether of prophet or of poet, expands for whatever we can put into it, and even his bad grammar is sublime.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Don't let us rejoice in punis...

Don't let us rejoice in punishment, even when the hand of God alone inflicts it. The best of us are but poor wretches, just saved from shipwreck. Can we feel anything but awe and pity when we see a fellow-passenger swallowed by the waves?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

All things except reason and ...

All things except reason and order are possible with a mob.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Quick souls have their intens...

Quick souls have their intensest life in the first anticipatory sketch of what may or will be, and the pursuit of their wish is the pursuit of that paradisiacal vision which only impelled them, and is left farther and farther behind, vanishing forever even out of hope in the moment which is called success.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

O the anguish of that thought...

O the anguish of that thought that we can never atone to our dead for the stinted affection we gave them, for the light answers we returned to their plaints or their pleadings, for the little reverence we showed to that sacred human soul that lived so close to us, and was the divinest thing God had given us to know!

George Eliot 1236 quotes

When you've been used to doin...

When you've been used to doing things, and they've been taken away from you, it's as if your hands had been cut off, and you felt the fingers as are of no use to you.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

As leopard feels at home with...

As leopard feels at home with leopard.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Religion can only change when...

Religion can only change when the emotions which fill it are changed; and the religion of personal fear remains nearly at the level of the savage.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Knightly love is blent with r...

Knightly love is blent with reverence As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

What is your religion? I mean...

What is your religion? I mean-not what you know about religion but the belief that helps you most?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is no feeling, perhaps,...

There is no feeling, perhaps, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music,--that does not make a man sing or play the better.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Lord! Thou art with Thy peopl...

Lord! Thou art with Thy people still; they see Thee in the night-watches, and their hearts burn within them as Thou talkest with them by the way. And Thou art near to those that have not known Thee; open their eyes that they may see Thee--see Thee weeping over them, and saying, "Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life"--see Thee hanging on the cross and saying, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"--see Thee as Thou wilt come again in Thy glory to judge them at the last. Amen.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Nature repairs her ravages,--...

Nature repairs her ravages,--repairs them with her sunshine and with human labor.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The idea of duty, that recogn...

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. No man can begin to mould himself on a faith or an idea without rising to a higher order of experience: a principle of subordination, of self-mastery, has been introduced into his nature; he is no longer a mere bundle of impressions, desires, and impulses.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There are but two sorts of go...

There are but two sorts of government: one where men show their teeth at each other, and one where men show their tongues and lick the feet of the strongest.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

When you see fair hair Be pit...

When you see fair hair Be pitiful.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

But how little we know what w...

But how little we know what would make paradise for our neighbours! We judge from our own desires, and our neighbours themselves are not always open enough even to throw out a hint of theirs.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

... we are most of us brought...

... we are most of us brought up in the notion that the highest motive for not doing a wrong is something irrespective of the beings who would suffer the wrong.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

... as usual I am suffering m...

... as usual I am suffering much from doubt as to the worth of what I am doing and fear lest I may not be able to complete it so as to make it a contribution to literature and not a mere addition to the heap of books.
