Additional quotes by George Eliot

Men outlive their love, but they don’t outlive the consequences of their recklessness.

Blessed influence of one true, loving human soul on another. Not calculable by algebra, not deducible by logic, but mysterious, effectual, mighty as the hidden process by which the tiny seed is quickened, and bursts forth into tall stem and broad leaf, and glowing tasselled flower.

One gets a bad habit of being unhappy.
