Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
Metaphysician's treatise on Nature: a
torch to see the sunrise
Mighty Highnesses who had only smelt
the outside edge of battle
Mika! you did it in cold blood?
Mindless, he says, and arrogant
Minutes taken up by the grey puffs from
their mouths
Mistake of the world is to think
happiness possible to the sense
Mistaking of her desires for her
reasons
Modest are the most easily intoxicated
when they sip at vanity
Money is of course a rough test of
virtue
Money's a chain-cable for holding men
to their senses
Moral indignation is ever consolatory
Morales, madame, suit ze sun
More argument I cannot bear
More culpable the sparer than the
spared
Most youths are like Pope's women; they
have no character
Mrs. Fleming, of Queen Anne's Farm, was
the wife of a yeoman
Music was resumed to confuse the
hearing of the eavesdroppers
Music in Italy? Amorous and martial,
brainless and monotonous
Must be the moralist in the satirist if
satire is to strike
Mutual deference
My engagement to Mr. Pericles is that I
am not to write
My mistress! My glorious stolen fruit!
My dark angel of love
My plain story is of two Kentish
damsels
My first girl--she's brought disgrace
on this house
My belief is, you do it on purpose.
Can't be such rank idiots
My voice! I have my voice! Emilia had
cried it out to herself
Naked original ideas, are acceptable at
no time
Napoleon's treatment of women is
excellent example
Nation's half made-up of the idle and
the servants of the idle
Nations at war are wild beasts
Naturally as deceived as he wished to
be
Nature and Law never agreed
Nature is not of necessity always
roaring
Nature could at a push be eloquent to
defend the guilty
Nature's logic, Nature's voice, for
self-defence
Naughtily Australian and kangarooly
Necessary for him to denounce somebody
Necessity's offspring
Needed support of facts, and feared
them
Never reckon on womankind for a wise
act
Never, never love a married woman
Never intended that we should play with
flesh and blood
Never forget that old Ireland is
weeping
Never forgave an injury without a
return blow for it
Never to despise the good opinion of
the nonentities
Never nurse an injury, great or small
Never was a word fitter for a quack's
mouth than "humanity"
Never fell far short of outstripping
the sturdy pedestrian Time
Never pretend to know a girl by her
face
Nevertheless, inclinations are an
infidelity
Next door to the Last Trump
Night has little mercy for the
self-reproachful
No nose to the hero, no moral to the
tale
No runner can outstrip his fate
No companionship save with the wound
they nurse
No Act to compel a man to deny what
appears in the papers
No great harm done when you're silent
No heart to dare is no heart to love!
No stopping the Press while the people
have an appetite for it
No word is more lightly spoken than
shame
No flattery for me at the expense of my
sisters
No man has a firm foothold who pretends
to it
