I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of.
Jane Austen
Image
A woman of seven and twenty, said Marianne, after pausing a moment, can never hope to feel or inspire affection again.
Jane Austen
Image
With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.
Jane Austen
Image
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Jane Austen
Image
What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps one in a continual state of inelegance.
Jane Austen
Image
When the evening was over, Anne could not be amused…nor could she help fearing, on more serious reflection, that, like many other great moralists and preachers, she had been eloquent on a point in which her own conduct would ill bear examination.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
Image

Jane Austen
Image

Jane Austen
Image
Marianne was silent it was impossible for her to say what she did not feel, however trivial the occasion.
Jane Austen
Image
It's such a happiness when good people get together.
Jane Austen
Image
The less said the better.
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Time, time will heal the wound.
Jane Austen
Image
She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time but alas! Alas! She must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.
Jane Austen
Image
There was no being displeased with such an encourager, for his admiration made him discern a likeness before it was possible.
Jane Austen
Image
It would be most right, and most wise, and, therefore must involve least suffering.
