Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand. – George Eliot
A womans heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed recipe. – George Eliot
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when theyre gone. – George Eliot
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare ones self to do without it. – George Eliot
