George Eliot Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: November 22, 1819 - December 22, 1880
Birthday: November 22
Death: December 22
Can anything be more disgusting than to hear people called 'educated' making small jokes about eating ham, and showing themselves empty of any real knowledge as to the relation of their own social and religious life to the history of the people they think themselves witty in insulting? [...] The best thing that can be said of it is, that it is a sign of the intellectual narrowness—in plain English, the stupidity which is still the average mark of our culture.
