Additional quotes by George Eliot

So to live is heaven: To make undying music in the world, Breathing a beauteous order that controls With growing sway the growing life of man.

What a different result one gets by changing the metaphor!

..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.

No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you. - George Eliot
