More quotes by Jane Austen
I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.
Jane Austen
Oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general. You never see fault in any body. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life. I would wish not to be hasty in censuring any one but I always speak what I think.
Jane Austen
I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men.
Jane Austen

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

Jane Austen
If there is any thing disagreeable going on, men are always sure to get out of it.
Jane Austen
Each found her greatest safety in silence.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
The post-office is a wonderful establishment! The regularity and dispatch of it! If one thinks of all that it has to do, and all that it does so well, it is really astonishing!
Jane Austen
One cannot know what a man really is by the end of a fortnight.
Jane Austen
I am not at all in a humour for writing I must write on till I am.
Jane Austen
Ah, mother! How do you do?' said he, giving her a hearty shake of the hand 'Where did you get that quiz of a hat? It makes you look like an old witch...' On his two younger sisters he then bestowed an equal portion of his fraternal tenderness, for he asked each of them how they did, and observed that they both looked very ugly.
Jane Austen
Life could do nothing for her, beyond giving time for a better preparation for death.
Jane Austen
This is an evening of wonders, indeed!
Jane Austen
She was happy, she knew she was happy, and knew she ought to be happy.
Jane Austen
Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.
Jane Austen
His cold politeness, his ceremonious grace, were worse than anything.
Jane Austen
Perfect happiness, even in memory, is not common.
Jane Austen
Give me but a little cheerful company, let me only have the company of the people I love, let me only be where I like and with whom I like, and the devil may take the rest, say I.
Jane Austen
