George Eliot Quotes

It is a wonderful subduer-this need of love, this hunger of the heart.

Everybody's got a hungry heart.

We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.

A complete need should not exist... love, life in common with loved ones?

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love; Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved.

Why does she want me?" Coraline asked the cat. "Why does she want me to stay here with her?" "She wants something to love, I think," said the cat. "Something that isn't her. She might want something to eat as well. It's hard to tell with creatures like that.

When I was younger, I used to vacillate between thinking love was this great and glorious mystery and thinking it was just something a bunch of Hollywood move producers made up to sell more tickets in the Depression, when Dish Night kind of played out." Eddie laughed. Now I think that all of us are born with a hole in our hearts, and we go around looking for the person who can fill it. You...Eddie, you fill me up.

It's nonverbal: I need love. I need the thing that happens when your brain shuts off and your heart turns on. And I know it's around me somewhere, but I just can't feel it.

We all have a hungry heart, and one of the things we hunger for is happiness.

And suddenly you're all i need the reason why I smile<3

I cannot live one day without love.

I wished to punish her for her intolerable stoicism, which made it impossible for me to ever be truly needed by her in the most profound ways a person can need another, a need that often goes by the name of love.

The heart will turn to a prune if love is always by the numbers. How will you know if someone really loves you if they only meet your expectations and not your needs?

What unites us as human beings is an urge for happiness which at heart is a yearning for union.

The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of man.

Every need got an ego to feed.

They say everyone needs something to love.

I didn't need more fame or money. I needed more heart.

And then there are my friends, and they have their own lives. While they like to talk everything through, to analyze and hypothesize, what I really need, what I'm really looking for, is not something I can articulate. It's nonverbal: I need love. I need the thing that happens when your brain shuts off and your heart turns on. And I know it's around me somewhere, but I just can't feel it.

The most powerful force in a woman's life is the need to be appreciated, loved and cherished for what she is.

People are starving for love, not knowing their heart is a magical kitchen. Open your heart. Open your magical kitchen and refuse to walk around the world begging for love. In your heart is all the love you need. Your heart can create any amount of love, not just for yourself, but for the whole world.
