No one who has ever known what it is to lose faith in a fellow-man whom he has profoundly loved and reverenced, will lightly say that the shock can leave the faith in the Invisible Goodness unshaken. With the sinking of high human trust, the dignity of life sinks too; we cease to believe in our own better self, since that also is part of the common nature which is degraded in our thought; and all the finer impulses of the soul are dulled.
George EliotThe important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.
George EliotWhat is your religion? I mean-not what you know about religion but the belief that helps you most?
George Eliot
