Ah I love Middlemarch!! We read that for the Book Club back in Feb-March and I loved it even more on a second read. It’s one of those books that makes me understand my humanity more for having read it!
This month I finished Middlemarch. Here were some of my favorite quotes:
"The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quiet masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character."
"He was one of those rare men who are rigid to themselves and indulgent to others. He had a certain shame about his neighbor's errors, and never spoke of them willingly."
"She had that rare sense which discerns what is unalterable, and submits to it without murmuring."
"I believe that people are almost always better than their neighbors think they are."
"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?"
