George Eliot Quote
Those slight words and looks and touches are part of the soul's language; and the finest language, I believe, is chiefly made up of unimposing words, such as light, sound, stars, music—words really not worth looking at, or hearing, in themselves, any more than chips or sawdust. It is only that they happen to be the signs of something unspeakably great and beautiful. I am of opinion that love is a great and beautiful thing too, and if you agree with me, the smallest signs of it will not be chips and sawdust to you: they will rather be like those little words, light and music, stirring the long-winding fibres of your memory and enriching your present with your most precious past.
