Who the funk is George Eliot?

"If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel`s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence."    ~George Eliot

Sometimes, I would like to make this the goal of all my writing.

I quite like Waugh. Funny guy.

My favourite quote by Eliot: "Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact."

Waugh is great. I can't wait to read several of his books as I embark on my quest to read the Modern Library Top 100.

"Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact."

This could have been my motto throughout my formative years :P
