Those bitter sorrows of childh...

Those bitter sorrows of childhood!-- when sorrow is all new and strange, when hope has not yet got wings to fly beyond the days and weeks, and the space from summer to summer seems measureless.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

That by desiring what is perfe...

That by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don't quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil -- widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

... there is a lightness about...

... there is a lightness about the feminine mind--a touch and go--music, the fine arts, that kind of thing--they should study those up to a certain point, women should; but in a light way, you know.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Love at its highest flood rush...

Love at its highest flood rushes beyond its object, and loses itself in the sense of divine mystery.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

'Tis God gives skill, but not ...

'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The most solid comfort one can...

The most solid comfort one can fall back upon is the thought that the business of one's life is to help in some small way to reduce the sum of ignorance, degradation and misery on the face of this beautiful earth.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Few things hold the perception...

Few things hold the perception more thoroughly captive than anxiety about what we have got to say

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Duty has a trick of behaving u...

Duty has a trick of behaving unexpectedly -- something like a heavy friend whom we have amiably asked to visit us, and who breaks his leg within our gates.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I think I should have no other...

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

and we must learn to accommoda...

and we must learn to accommodate ourselves to the discovery that some of those cunningly-fashioned instruments called human souls have only a very limited range of music, and will not vibrate in the least under a touch that fills others with tremulous rapture or quivering agony.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There is a sort of subjection ...

There is a sort of subjection which is the peculiar heritage of largeness and of love; and strength is often only another name for willing bondage to irremediable weakness.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Would not love see returning p...

Would not love see returning penitence afar off, and fall on its neck and kiss it?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Where women love each other, m...

Where women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Most of us who turn to any sub...

Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A supreme love, a motive that ...

A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman's life, and exalts habit into partnership with the soul's highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

One soweth and another reapeth...

One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I at least have so much to do ...

I at least have so much to do in unraveling certain human lots, and seeing how they were woven and interwoven, that all the light I can command must be concentrated on this particular web, and not dispersed over that tempting range of relevancies called the universe.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Shall we, because we walk on o...

Shall we, because we walk on our hind feet, assume to ourselves only the privilege of imperishability?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

But she took her husband's jok...

But she took her husband's jokes and joviality as patiently as everything else, considering that 'men would be so', and viewing the stronger sex in the light of animals whom it had pleased Heaven to make naturally troublesome, like bulls and turkey-cocks.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Each thought is a nail that is...

Each thought is a nail that is driven In structures that cannot decay; And the mansion at last will be given To us as we build it each day.
