George Eliot on Friendship
← Back to George Eliot Profile
“Friend more divine than all divinities.”
“Best friend, my well-spring in the wilderness!”
“Friendships begin with liking or gratitude—roots that can be pulled up.”
“Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.”
“So, if I live or die to serve my friend, 'Tis for my love —' tis for my friend alone, And not for any rate that friendship bears In heaven or on earth.”
