More quotes by Jane Austen
How wonderful, how very wonderful the operations of time, and the changes of the human mind!
Jane Austen
A man . . . must have a very good opinion of himself when he asks people to leave their own fireside, and encounter such a day as this, for the sake of coming to see him. He must think himself a most agreeable fellow.
Jane Austen
I can safely say, that the happiest part of my life has been spent on board a ship.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
Arguments are too much like disputes.
Jane Austen
But indeed I would rather have nothing but tea.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
Money can only give happiness where there is nothing else to give it.
Jane Austen
Time will generally lessen the interest of every attachment not within the daily circle.
Jane Austen
I begin already to weigh my words and sentences more than I did, and am looking about for a sentiment, an illustration, or a metaphor in every corner of the room. Could my Ideas flow as fast as the rain in the Storecloset it would be charming.
Jane Austen
She felt that she could so much more depend upon the sincerity of those who sometimes looked or said a careless or a hasty thing, than of those whose presence of mind never varied, whose tongue never slipped.
Jane Austen
An annuity is a very serious business.
Jane Austen
I never wish to offend, but I am so foolishly shy, that I often seem negligent, when I am only kept back by my natural awkwardness.
Jane Austen
Never could I expect to be so truly beloved and important so always first and always right in any man's eyes as I am in my father's.
Jane Austen
It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.
Jane Austen
There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.
Jane Austen
I love you. Most ardently.
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.
