Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
He was the maddest of tyrants--a weak
one
He had to go, he must, he has to be
always going
He never calculated on the happening of
mortal accidents
He had expected romance, and had met
merchandize
He condensed a paragraph into a line
He lost the art of observing himself
He had neat phrases, opinions in
packets
He's good from end to end, and beats a
Christian hollow (a hog)
Hear victorious lawlessness appealing
solemnly to God the law
Heart to keep guard and bury the bones
you tossed him
Heartily she thanked the girl for the
excuse to cry
Hearts that make one soul do not
separately count their gifts
Heathen vindictiveness declaring itself
holy
Heights of humour beyond laughter
Her intimacy with a man old enough to
be her grandfather
Her vehement fighting against facts
Her peculiar tenacity of the sense of
injury
Her feelings--trustier guides than her
judgement in this crisis
Her final impression likened him to a
house locked up and empty
Her aspect suggested the repose of a
winter landscape
Her singing struck a note of grateful
remembered delight
Her duel with Time
Here, where he both wished and wished
not to be
Here and there a plain good soul to
whom he was affectionate
Hermits enamoured of wind and rain
Hero embarked in the redemption of an
erring beautiful woman
Heroine, in common with the hero, has
her ambition to be of use
Herself, content to be dull if he might
shine
Hesitating strangeness that sometimes
gathers during absences
Himself in the worn old surplice of the
converted rake
His aim to win the woman acknowledged
no obstacle in the means
His idea of marriage is, the taking of
the woman into custody
His gaze and one of his ears, if not
the pair, were given
His ridiculous equanimity
His alien ideas were not unimpressed by
the picture
His restored sense of possession
His wife alone, had, as they termed it,
kept him together
His equanimity was fictitious
His fancy performed miraculous feats
His violent earnestness, his imperial
self-confidence
His apparent cynicism is sheer
irritability
Holding to the refusal, for the sake of
consistency
Holding to his work after the strain's
over--That tells the man
Holy images, and other miraculous
objects are sold
Honest creatures who will not accept a
lift from fiction
Hope which lies in giving men a dose of
hysterics
Hopeless task of defending a woman from
a woman
Hopes of a coming disillusion that
would restore him
Hosts of men are of the simple order of
the comic
How angry I should be with you if you
were not so beautiful!
How Success derides Ambition!
How many degrees from love gratitude
may be
How immensely nature seems to prefer
men to women!
How little a thing serves Fortune's
turn
How to compromise the matter for the
sake of peace?
How many instruments cannot clever
women play upon
How little we mean to do harm when we
do an injury
Hug the hatred they packed up among
their bundles
