“Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.” — George Eliot Quote

“Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.”

“The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character.”

“I never had any preference for her, any more than I have a preference for breathing.”
