George Eliot Quotes

Everything that's happening to you, is what's suppose to be happening to you. So just relax.

It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all of the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it.

If you know that things are bound to happen whatever you do, then you may feel free to give up the fight against them.

I don't want to make this sound negative at all, but in the best way possible I freaking give up. I give up. You can't try and make your life perfect. I'm just trying to have a good time, and I'm just trying to appreciate the things that I have around me. I give up on the 'dream' dream. I think that it's all a dream. I think it's all wonderful and terrible. And I give up in the nicest way.

I think I've gone through my life with the understanding that you've got to let go and you can't think that you're going to control your destiny.

I believe that you are only in control of so much. So whatever you are not in control of you can't worry about.

Leave the rest to the gods.

I believe in taking what happens as inevitable.

As life has a way of unfolding as it is meant to, I have learned to trust life.

There are things we control - but things that are not in control, no point wasting time and energy into that.

At some point, you just learn to surrender to your path.

I stopped trying to plan a long time ago - whatever's meant to happen for me in the future will happen.

I never ever aspired for anything in life. I don't believe in planning or yearning for something very strongly. If something has to happen, it will happen.

I think that when you let go and "throw it all away" and stop getting attached and say "whatever happens, happens", you don't invest too much in anything particular, and things work out.

Be content with what thou hast received, and smooth thy frowning forehead, for the door of choice is not open either to thee or me.

...life is in Fate's hands now. You made your choice to stay... it's too late to change that, so stop agonizing over it.... You're making my scales itch. Saphira, from "Eragon

I don't chase after things, but I put forward the effort and know the rest of it is out of my hands.

Well I can tell you that for me generally speaking that I think things that I deal with are all to do with not accepting things, not excepting life on life's terms. My life becomes a lot easier when I'm willing to just accept. I don't have to like circumstances as they are, but I have to accept them and that's where I always seem to get thrown, when I try to will my way instead of accept things the way they are.

Ketut, why is life all crazy like this?" I asked my medicine man the next day...So what can we do about the craziness of the world?" Nothing." Ketut laughed, but with a dose of kindness. "This is nature of world. This is destiny. Worry about your craziness only-make you in peace.

I gave up on ever trying to get 'my way.' I barely knew it existed.

There have been many times in my life where I got opportunities that I never thought would be the things that I needed, so I'm always saying, "I want to do this but whatever the universe thinks is right, I'm open." Because otherwise it causes me so much pain if I don't get what I want. It's my least favorite thing.
