More quotes by Jane Austen

Jane Austen
When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene.
Jane Austen
What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering?
Jane Austen
She was not often invited to join in the conversation of the others, nor did she desire it. Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions.
Jane Austen
Wisdom is better than wit, and in the long run will certainly have the laugh on her side.
Jane Austen
With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.
Jane Austen
It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some kind of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples.
Jane Austen
My good qualities are under your protection, and you are to exaggerate them as much as possible and, in return, it belongs to me to find occasion for teasing and quarreling with you as often as may be.
Jane Austen
