More From George Eliot

Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.
Real Broken Passionate
Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

I am a buyer of blank books. kids find it interesting that i would buy a blank book. they say, twenty-six dollars for a blank book! why would you pay that? the reason i pay twenty-six dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth twenty-six dollars to put in there. all my journals are private, but if you ever got hold of one of them, you wouldn't have to look very far to discover it is worth more than twenty-six dollars

It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not $30,000,000 in currency. both are promises to pay; but one promise fattens the usurer (banker), and the other helps the people. if the currency issued by the government were no good, then the bonds issued would be no good either. it is a terrible situation when the government, to increase the national wealth, must go into debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious values of gold.
Country Men Issues
If i owned any of these hot new issues that have doubled, tripled, quintupled or umptupled within days and in some cases hours after they were issued, i most certainly would grab my fabulous windfall, thank my lucky stars and invest the money. it's utter nonsense to think any newly issued stock is really worth two, ten or 20 times the [offering] price.... a management so stupid as to sell shares [cheap], and an underwriter so obtuse as not to discern the real value, together would provide reason enough for a sensible man to get rid of his shares.
Stars Real Stupid
Noticing and remembering everything would trap bright scenes to light and fill the blank and darkening past which was already piling up behind me. the growing size of that blank and ever-darkening past frightened me; it loomed beside me like a hole in the air and battened on scraps of my life i failed to claim. if one day i forgot to notice my life, and be damned grateful for it, the blank cave would suck me up entire.
Grateful Past Light

When i got married for the third time, and i had children from my other marriage there, that's what i said when it came time in the ceremony for me to say something. i said, "i'm grateful to everybody that participated, everybody that participated in my life that got me to this moment. and everything was dead-right because everything is right now."

To be grateful is to recognize the love of god in everything.
Thanksgiving Gratitude Grateful
I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.
Grateful Looks Pieces
I don't want to become unhealthily attached to what i do. i'm grateful for what i do, but i also want to be able to be ok when i'm not doing it.
