George Eliot
  • Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

  • Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.

  • Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

  • In all private quarrels the duller nature is triumphant by reason of dullness.

  • An election is coming. Universal peace is declared, and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.
