„Rastúce dobro sveta totiž čiastočne závisí od nehistorických činov; a to, že sa mi s tebou nedarí tak zle, ako by sa nám mohlo dariť, je z polovice zásluhou tých, ktorí žili verne skrytým životom a odpočívajú v nenavštívených hroboch.“

George Eliot

„Škaredí a zdeformovaní ľudia potrebujú veľké množstvo neobvyklých cností, pretože bez nich sa budú pravdepodobne cítiť veľmi nepohodlne.“

„Keby sme videli a cítili všetko, čo sa v ľuďoch každodenne odohráva, bolo by to, akoby sme počuli, ako rastie tráva alebo ako veveričke bije srdce, a umreli by sme od hluku, ktorý by nás čakal za clonou ticha.“

“These bitter sorrows of childhood! when sorrow is all new and strange, when hope has not yet got wings to fly beyond the days and weeks, and the space from summer to summer seems measureless.”

“Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending.”

Help us translate this quote

George Eliot kniha Middlemarch

Zdroj: Middlemarch (1871)
Kontext: Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending. Who can quit young lives after being long in company with them, and not desire to know what befell them in their after-years? For the fragment of a life, however typical, is not the sample of an even web: promises may not be kept, and an ardent outset may be followed by declension; latent powers may find their long-waited opportunity; a past error may urge a grand retrieval.

“People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors.”
