“Everything seems too happy for me all at once. I thought it would always be part of my life to long for home, and losing that grievance makes me feel rather empty: I suppose it served instead of sense to fill up my mind?”
― Middlemarch

“Life would be no better than candle-light tinsel and daylight rubbish if our spirits were not touched by what has been, to issues of longing and constancy.”
― Middlemarch
― Middlemarch
“Even if you’re going to live three thousand more years, or ten times that, remember: you cannot lose
another life than the one you’re living now, or live another one than the one you’re losing. The longest
amounts to the same as the shortest. The present is the same for everyone; its loss is the same for
everyone; and it should be clear that a brief instant is all that is lost. For you can’t lose either the past or
the future; how could you lose what you don’t have?”
― Meditations

“Why should I have that, when I have nothing else! A man with only a portmanteau for his stowage must keep his memorials in his head.”
― Middlemarch

“…there was the stifling oppression of that gentlewoman’s world, where everything was done for her and none asked for her aid—where the sense of connection with a manifold pregnant existence had to be kept up painfully as an inward vision, instead of coming from without in claims that would have shaped her energies.”
