Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
She felt in him a maker of facts
She was not his match--To speak would
be to succumb
She disdained to question the mouth
which had bitten her
She had no longer anything to resent:
she was obliged to weep
She stood with a dignity that the word
did not express
She dealt in the flashes which connect
ideas
She began to feel that this was life in
earnest
She might turn out good, if well
guarded for a time
She sought, by looking hard, to
understand it better
She was thrust away because because he
had offended
She seemed really a soaring bird
brought down by the fowler
She can make puddens and pies
She was not, happily, one of the women
who betray strong feeling
Should we leave a good deed half done
Showery, replied the admiral, as his
cocked-hat was knocked off
Shun comparisons
Shuns the statuesque pathetic, or any
kind of posturing
Sign that the evil had reached from
pricks to pokes
Silence and such signs are like
revelations in black night
Silence was their only protection to
the Nice Feelings
Silence is commonly the slow poison
used by those who mean to murder love
Silence was doing the work of a scourge
Simple obstinacy of will sustained her
Simple affection must bear the strain
of friendship if it can
Simplicity is the keenest weapon
Sincere as far as she knew: as far as
one who loves may be
Sinners are not to repent only in words
Slap and pinch and starve our appetites
Slave of existing conventions
Slaves of the priests
Sleepless night
Slightest taste for comic analysis that
does not tumble to farce
Small beginnings, which are in reality
the mighty barriers
Small things producing great
consequences
Smallest of our gratifications in life
could give a happy tone
Smart remarks have their measured
distances
Smile she had in reserve for
serviceable persons
Smoky receptacle cherishing millions
Smothered in its pudding-bed of the
grotesque (obesity)
Snatch her from a possessor who
forfeited by undervaluing her
Snuffle of hypocrisy in her prayer
So the frog telleth tadpoles
So it is when you play at Life! When
you will not go straight
So long as we do not know that we are
performing any remarkable feat
So says the minute Years are before
you
So indulgent when they drop their blot
on a lady's character
So much for morality in those days!
So are great deeds judged when the
danger's past (as easy)
Socially and politically mean one thing
in the end
Soft slumber of a strength never yet
called forth
Solitude is pasturage for a suspicion
Some so-called laws of honour
Something of the hare in us when the
hounds are full cry
Sort of religion with her to believe no
wrong of you
South-western Island has few
attractions to other than invalids
Spare me that word "female" as long as
you live
Speech that has to be hauled from the
depths usually betrays
Speech is poor where emotion is extreme
Speech was a scourge to her sense of
hearing
Spiritualism, and on the balm that it
was
