Jane Austen
Image
Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always take you by surprise, and me never.
Jane Austen
Image

Jane Austen
Image
It is the misfortune of poetry, to be seldom safely enjoyed by those who enjoy it completely.
Jane Austen
Image
Dress is at all times a frivolous distinction, and excessive solicitude about it often destroys its own aim.

I do suspect that he is not really necessary to my happiness.
Jane Austen
Image
It's such a happiness when good people get together.
Jane Austen
Image
An egg boiled very soft is not unwholesome.
Jane Austen
Image
No- I cannot talk of books in a ballroom my head is always full of something else.
Jane Austen
Image
I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle.
Jane Austen
Image
It would be most right, and most wise, and, therefore must involve least suffering.
Jane Austen
Image
No one can be really esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met with.
Jane Austen
Image
His own enjoyment, or his own ease, was, in every particular, his ruling principle.
