Sympathetic people often don't...

Sympathetic people often don't communicate well, they back reflected images which hide their own depths.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our passions do not live apart...

Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers but dress in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

For my part I am very sorry fo...

For my part I am very sorry for him. It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self--never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardour of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dimsighted.

Habit is the beneficent harness of routine which enables silly men to live respectfully and unhappy men to live calmly

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A blush is no language; only a...

A blush is no language; only a dubious flag - signal which may mean either of two contradictories

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Explain! Tell a man to explain...

Explain! Tell a man to explain how he dropped into hell! Explain my preference! I never had a PREFERENCE for her, any more than I have a preference for breathing. No other woman exists by the side of her. I would rather touch her hand if it were dead, than I would touch any other woman's living.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

She thought it was part of the...

She thought it was part of the hardship of her life that there was laid upon her the burthen of larger wants than others seemed to feel Ђ' that she had to endure this wide hopeless yearning for that something, whatever it was, that was greatest and best on this earth.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Surely there was something tau...

Surely there was something taught her by this experience of great need; and she must be learning a secret of human tenderness and long-suffering, that the less erring could hardly know?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Her heart went out to him with...

Her heart went out to him with a stronger movement than ever, at the thought that people would blame him. Maggie hated blame; she had been blamed her whole life, and nothing had come of it but evil tempers.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

And Dorothea..she had no dream...

And Dorothea..she had no dreams of being praised above other women. Feeling that there was always something better which she might have done if she had only been better and known better, her full nature spent itself in deeds which left no great name on the earth, but the effect of her being on those around her was incalculable. For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts and on all those Dorotheas who life faithfully their hidden lives and rest in unvisited tombs. Middlemarch

It is a common sentence that knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls down.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I like trying to get pregnant. I'm not so sure about childbirth.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

There are new eras in one's life that are equivalent to youth-are something better than youth.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I think any hardship is better...

I think any hardship is better than pretending to do what one is paid for, and never really doing it.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

How should all the apparatus o...

How should all the apparatus of heaven and earth make poetry for a mind that had no movements of awe and tenderness, no sense of fellowship which thrills from the near to the distant, and back again from the distant to the near?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

But with regard to critical occasions, it often happens that all moments seem comfortably remote until the last.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Fine old Christmas, with the snowy hair and ruddy face, had done his duty that year in the noblest fashion, and had set off his rich gifts of warmth and color with all the heightening contrast of frost and snow.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

For years after Lydgate remembered the impression produced in him by this involuntary appeal-this cry from soul to soul, without other consciousness than their moving with kindred natures in the same embroiled medium, the same troublous fitfully-illuminated life.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It had already occurred to him that books were stuff, and that life was stupid.
