They had entered the thorny wilderness, and the golden gates of their childhood had for ever closed behind them.  (George Eliot Quotes) There is a chill air surrounding those who are down in the world, and people are glad to get away from them, as from a cold room.  (George Eliot Quotes) Man may content himself with the applause of the world and the homage paid to his intellect, but woman’s heart has holier idols.  (George Eliot Quotes) ... we all know the wag’s definition of a philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of the distance.  (George Eliot Quotes) 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 Quotes) You youngsters nowadays think you’re to begin with living well and working easy; you’ve no notion of running afoot before you get on horseback.  (George Eliot Quotes) Here undoubtedly lies the chief poetic energy: - in the force of imagination that pierces or exalts the solid fact, instead of floating among cloud-pictures.  (George Eliot Quotes) Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation, and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead.  (George Eliot Quotes) In the love of a brave and faithful man there is always a strain of maternal tenderness; he gives out again those beams of protecting fondness which were shed on him as he lay on his mother’s knee.  (George Eliot Quotes) Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult. Even with no motive to be false, it is very hard to say the exact truth.  (George Eliot Quotes) Art is the nearest thing to life; it is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellow men beyond the bounds of our personal lot.  (George Eliot Quotes) The tendency toward good in human nature has a force which no creed can utterly counteract, and which insures the ultimate triumph of that tendency over all dogmatic perversions.  (George Eliot Quotes) I’m not denyin’ the women are foolish. God Almighty made ‘em to match the men.  (George Eliot Quotes) I don’t feel sure about doing good in any way now; everything seems like going on a mission to a people whose language I don’t know.  (George Eliot Quotes) If we could hear the squirrel’s heartbeat, the sound of the grass growing, we should die of that roar.  (George Eliot Quotes) ... one’s own faults are always a heavy chain to drag through life and one can’t help groaning under the weight now and then.  (George Eliot Quotes) The best augury of a man's success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world  (George Eliot Quotes) Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love  (George Eliot Quotes) Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love  (George Eliot Quotes) A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections  (George Eliot Quotes) Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another  (George Eliot Quotes) But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope  (George Eliot Quotes) I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved  (George Eliot Quotes) In all private quarrels the duller nature is triumphant by reason of dullness  (George Eliot Quotes) In every parting there is an image of death  (George Eliot Quotes) In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half it's applause  (George Eliot Quotes) Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty  (George Eliot Quotes) Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest  (George Eliot Quotes) No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty  (George Eliot Quotes) Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them  (George Eliot Quotes)
