― George Eliot, Middlemarch

“..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch

“I don't make myself disagreeable; it is you who find me so. Disagreeable is a word that describes your feelings and not my actions.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch

“Most of us who turn to any subject with 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, Middlemarch
