George Eliot Quotes

«He was like the cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow»
«Vanity is as ill at ease under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return.»
«Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.»

Author: George Eliot (Novelist) | Keywords: longing, wishing
«There is much pain that is quite noiseless; and vibrations that make human agonies are often a mere whisper in the roar of hurrying existence. There are glances of hatred that stab and raise no cry of murder; robberies that leave man or woman for ever beggared of peace and joy, yet kept secret by the sufferer /committed to no sound except that of low moans in the night, seen in no writing except that made on the face by the slow months of suppressed anguish and early morning tears. Many an inherited sorrow that has marred a life has been breathed into no human ear.»
«If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence»
«It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.»
Author: George Eliot (Novelist) | Keywords: plant, rain, roses
«Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker.»
«Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?»
