George Eliot quotes
"Different taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections."
Take this quote mobile"It is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal."
"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."
"The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice."
"The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone."
"The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another."
"One must be poor to know the luxury of giving."
"When one is grateful for something too good for common thanks, writing is less unsatisfactory than speech-one does not, at least, hear how inadequate the words are."
"Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact."
"Ignorance gives one a large range of probabilities."
