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 have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

[grandfather] would manufacture funnies with grandmother before she died about how he was in love with other women who were not her. she knew it was only funnies because she would laugh in volumes. 'anna,' he would say, 'i am going to marry that one with the pink hat.' and she would say, 'to whom are you going to marry her?' and he would say, 'to me.' i would laugh very much in the back seat, and she would say to him, 'but you are no priest.' and he would say, 'i am today.' and she would say, 'today you believe in god?' and he would say, 'today i believe in love.
Believe Grandmother Laughing
No man can fight his way to the top and stay at the top without exercising the fullest measure of grit, courage, determination, resolution. every man who gets anywhere does so because he has first firmly resolved to progress in the world and then has enough stick-to-it-tiveness to transform his resolution into reality. without resolution, no man can win any worthwhile place among his fellow men.
Determination Fighting Exercise
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
A man has to find a good woman, and when he finds her he has to win her love. then he has to earn her respect. then he has to cherish her trust. and then he has to, like, go on doing that for as long as they live. until they both die. that's what it's all about. that's the most important thing in the world. that's what a man is, yaar. a man is truly a man when he wins the love of a good woman, earns her respect, and keeps her trust. until you do that, you're not a man.
