"I've learned a lot through writing about George Eliot. I've learned that pride and stubbornness can ruin family and friendships. I've learned that people can be hateful and cruel to others even when they love them. I've learned that human beings usually wait until it is too late to make amends. I've learned that George Eliot was different, and because of this she was treated badly by her family who turned her away for decades. I have learned that that pain and anguish of rejection made her a noteworthy author who conveyed emotions perhaps better than anyone else in the English language. She is cited as being one of the top 100 women who changed the world. She did it with words of empathy--love--acceptance. I have learned from George Eliot that to be oneself without bowing to the anger and rejection of others is a good thing." ~ Freda M. Chaney
