George Eliot
  • The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

  • I desire no future that will break the ties with the past.

  • It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.

  • I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men.

  • We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.
