Middlemarch Quotes

“But I have a belief of my own, and it comforts me."

"What is that?" said Will, rather jealous of the belief.

"That by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don't quite know what it is and can not do what we would, we are part of the divine struggle against evil--widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch

“Sane people did what their neighbours did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch
