Poetry Quote by George Eliot — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

““Poor fellow! I think he is in love with you.'”

“Truth has rough flavours if we bite it through.”

“She was no longer struggling against the perception of facts, but adjusting herself to their clearest perception.”

“People are almost always better than their neighbors think they are.”

“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?”

“Our deeds determine us, as long as we determine our deeds”

“This is perhaps the most noble aim of poetry, to attach ourselves to the world around us, to turn desire into love, to embrace, finally what always evades us, what is beyond, but what is always there – the unspoken, the spirit, the soul.”

“When soul meets soul on lovers' lips.”

“So this is what I am”

“She was broken from moment to moment, watching her world collide she felt lost inside herself. She fell apart for a passion that flamed beneath her. She waited and died a hundred times, it dripped from her pores. The moment she let go, she soared over the stillness like the star she was born to be.”

“If our two loves be one, or, thou and I”

“So very lovely”
