Knightly love is blent with reverence
More quotes by George Eliot
The blessed work of helping the world forward, happily does not wait to be done by perfect men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
Howiver, I'm not denyin' the women are foolish: God Almighty made 'em to match the men.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
