George Eliot
Life, Wisdom, Peace
George Eliot (2005). “Four Novels of George Eliot”, p.47, Wordsworth Editions

I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a willful sin between myself and God.

George Eliot
Peace, Shadow, Sin
George Eliot (1889). “Mill on the Floss ; Silas Marner ; The Lifted Veil ; and Brother Jacob”

Surely it is not true blessedness to be free of sorrow while there is sorrow and sin in the world. Sorrow is a part of love and love does not seek to throw it off.

George Eliot
Love, Peace, Sorrow
George Eliot (2005). “Four Novels of George Eliot”, p.227, Wordsworth Editions

There is much pain that is quite noiseless; and vibrations that make human agonies are often a mere whisper in the roar of hurrying existence. There are glances of hatred that stab and raise no cry of murder; robberies that leave man or woman for ever beggared of peace and joy, yet kept secret by the sufferer --committed to no sound except that of low moans in the night, seen in no writing except that made on the face by the slow months of suppressed anguish and early morning tears. Many an inherited sorrow that has marred a life has been breathed into no human ear.

George Eliot
Peace, Morning, Pain
"Felix Holt, the Radical". Book by George Eliot. Introductory chapter, 1866.
