Status Updates From Adam Bede

Eliot’s writing is hilarious. One of the funniest quotes so far:

“You’ll never persuade me that I can’t tell what men are by their outsides. If I don’t like a man’s looks, depend upon it I shall never like him. I don’t want to know people that look ugly and disagreeable any more than I want to taste dishes that look disagreeable. If they make me shudder at the first glance, I say, take them away.”
