Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are. – George Eliot
There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds — not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but — a hatred of all injury. – George Eliot

To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion. – George Eliot
