“…a swaggerer, who would aim at being noticeable even at a show of fireworks, regarding his own remarks on any other person’s performance as likely to be more interesting than the performance itself.”

“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

“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

“…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.”

“Scenes which make vital changes in our neighbors’ lot are but the background of our own, yet, like a particular aspect of the fields and trees, they become associated for us with the epochs of our own history, and make a part of that unity which lies in the selection of our keenest consciousness.”
― Middlemarch
