George Eliot

It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.

There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.

For me, there's nothing better than curling up in my favorite blanket on a cloudy or rainy day and just knit. Especially in front of the fireplace.

If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!

Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
