Additional quotes by George Eliot

Truth is the precious harvest of the earth. But once, when harvest waved upon a land, The noisome cankerworm and caterpillar, Locusts, and all the swarming foul-born broods, Fastened upon it with swift, greedy jaws, And turned the harvest into pestilence, Until men said, What profits it to sow?

I think any hardship is better than pretending to do what one is paid for, and never really doing it.

Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love...
