George Eliot Misery Quotations

It is seldom that the miserable of the world can help regarding their misery as a wrong inflicted by those who are less miserable.

There is hardly any mental misery worse than that of having our own serious phrases, our own rooted beliefs, caricatured by a charlatan or a hireling.

The best happiness will be to escape the worst misery.

The worst of misery Is when a nature framed for noblest things Condemns itself in youth to petty joys, And, sore athirst for air, breathes scanty life Gasping from out the shallows.
