George Eliot Quotes

“Before midnight of the 22nd of December, 1880, George Eliot, who died at precisely the same age as Lewes, had passed quietly and painlessly away; and on Christmas Eve the announcement of her death was received with general grief. She was buried by the side of George Henry Lewes in the cemetary at Highgate.”
― Mathilde Blind, George Eliot

“A severe cold taken by Lewes proved the forerunner of a serious disorder, and, after a short illness, this bright, many-sided, indefatigable thinker, passed away in his sixty-second year.”
― Mathilde Blind, George Eliot

“I was reflecting on the ways in which even movements of liberation can be shaped by the very thought forms they seek to challenge.”
― Mathilde Blind, George Eliot
