More From George Eliot
- "There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope."
- "When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity."
- "Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure."
