Quotes Faith-Anne Liked

George Eliot
“It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

George Eliot
“To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it, and so quick to feel, that discernment is but a hand playing with finely-ordered variety on the chords of emotion--a soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

George Eliot
“I can't bear fishing. I think people look like fools sitting watching a line hour after hour--or else throwing and throwing, and catching nothing.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life
