More From George Eliot

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc.
Believe Years Musical
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman
Kings Giving World
The fact that labour is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and his mind. the worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself.
Mind Unhappy Energy
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. if by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. if by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? without her, man could not be. if nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
Spiritual Sex Heart
A healthy man is content with a woman. an erotic man is content with a stocking to get to a woman. a sick man is content with thestocking.
Men Sick Erotic
