Travel, Integrity, Journey

George Eliot (2015). “Middlemarch”, p.765, Booklassic

We have had an unspeakably delightful journey, one of those journeys which seem to divide one's life in two, by the new ideas they suggest and the new views of interest they open.

Travel, Journey, Views

George Eliot (1860). “Life and Letters”, p.381

It is a sad weakness in us, after all, that the thought of a person's death consecrates him or her anew to us. It is as if life were not sacred too, as if it were comparatively a small thing to fail in love and reverence to the brother or sister who has to climb the whole toilsome mountain with us. It seems as if all our tears and tenderness were due to the one who is spared that hard journey.

George Eliot

Death, Brother, Journey
