Dorothea Quotes

“After the gratifications of brutish appetites are past, the greatest pleasure then is to get rid of that which entertained it.”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

“... Genius consisting neither in self-conceit nor in humilty, but in a power to making or do, not anything in general, but something in particular.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch

“Rosamund, taken hold of by an emotion stronger than her own--hurried along in a new movement which gave all things some new, awful, undefined aspect--could find no words, but involuntarily she put her lips to Dorothea's forehead which was very near her, and then for a minute the two women clasped each other as if they had been in a shipwreck.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch
