More quotes by Jane Austen
Time, time will heal the wound.
Jane Austen
She knew that what Marianne and her mother conjectured one moment, they believed the next: that with them, to wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect.
Jane Austen
Marianne was silent it was impossible for her to say what she did not feel, however trivial the occasion.
Jane Austen
Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.
Jane Austen
It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.
Jane Austen
No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be a heroine... But from fifteen to seventeen she was in training for a heroine.
Jane Austen
A persuadable temper might sometimes be as much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character.
Jane Austen
Where a man does his best with only moderate powers, he will have the advantage over negligent superiority.
Jane Austen
I love you. Most ardently.
Jane Austen
One cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.
Jane Austen
From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced.
Jane Austen
One likes to hear what is to be going on, to be au fair with the newest modes of being trifling and silly.
Jane Austen
It would be most right, and most wise, and, therefore must involve least suffering.
Jane Austen
Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.
Jane Austen
What a shame, for I dearly love to laugh.
Jane Austen
Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply.
Jane Austen
Of this she was perfectly unaware to her he was only the man who had made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.
Jane Austen
It is this delightful habit of journalizing which largely contributes to form the easy style of writing for which ladies are so generally celebrated. Every body allows that the talent of writing is particularly female. Nature might have done something, but I am sure it must be essentially assisted by the practice of keeping a journal.
Jane Austen
Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled.
Jane Austen
How she might have felt had there been no Captain Wentworth in the case, was not worth enquiry for there was a Captain Wentworth: and be the conclusion of the present suspense good or bad, her affection would be his forever. Their union, she believed, could not divide her more from other men, than their final separation.
