George Eliot Quotes

The Lapse Of Time During Which A Given Event Has Not Happened, Is, In This Logic Of Habit, Constantly Alleged As A Reason Why The Event Should Never Happen, Even When The Lapse Of Time Is Precisely The Added Condition Which Makes The Event Imminent. A Man Will Tell You That He Has Worked In A Mine For Forty Years Unhurt By An Accident As A Reason Why He Should Apprehend No Danger, Though The Roof Is Beginning To Sink; And It Is Often Observable, That The Older A Man Gets, The More Difficult It Is To Him To Retain A Believing Conception Of His Own Death.
