More quotes by Jane Austen
With women, the heart argues, not the mind.
Jane Austen
I am sorry to tell you that I am getting very extravagant and spending all my money: and what is worse for you, I have been spending yours too.
Jane Austen
It does not appear to me that my hand is unworthy your acceptance, or that the establishment I can offer would be any other than highly desirable.
Jane Austen
It sometimes is a disadvantage to be so very guarded. If a woman conceals her affection from the object of it, she may loose the opportunity of fixing him.
Jane Austen
Elinor could sit still no longer. She almost ran out of the room, and as soon as the door was closed, burst into tears of joy, which at first she thought would never cease.
Jane Austen
No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves it is the woman only who can make it a torment.
Jane Austen
I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter in all my feelings the same books, the same music must charm us both.
Jane Austen
One word from you shall silence me forever.
Jane Austen
A person who is knowingly bent on bad behavior, gets upset when better behavior is expected of them.
Jane Austen
And to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading.
Jane Austen
We neither of us perform to strangers.
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
He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and every body hoped that he would never come there again.
Jane Austen
She was stronger alone and her own good sense so well supported her, that her firmness was as unshaken, her appearance of cheerfulness as invariable, as, with regrets so poignant and so fresh, it was possible for them to be.
Jane Austen
This is an evening of wonders, indeed!
Jane Austen
To take a dislike to a young man, only because he appeared to be of a different disposition from himself, was unworthy the real liberality of mind
Jane Austen
Without scheming to do wrong, or to make others unhappy, there may be error and there may be misery. Thoughtlessness, want of attention to other people's feelings, and want of resolution, will do the business.
Jane Austen
If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.
Jane Austen
To her own heart it was a delightful affair, to her imagination it was even a ridiculous one, but to her reason, her judgment, it was completely a puzzle.
Jane Austen
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves vanity, to what we would have others think of us.
