Do not believe them; it only creates a vacuum for eager thought to rush in. - George Eliot (pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans Cross) For thoughts are so great--aren't they, sir? They seem to lie upon us like a deep flood; and it's my besetment to forget where I am and everything about me, and lose myself in thoughts that I could give no account of, for I could neither make a beginning nor ending of them in words. - George Eliot (pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans Cross), Adam Bede (ch.
