Jane Austen
Image
She had nothing to do but to forgive herself and be happier than ever.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
Image

Jane Austen
Image
Her form, though not so correct as her sister's, in having the advantage of height, was more striking and her face was so lovely, that when in the common cant of praise she was called a beautiful girl, truth was less violently outraged than usually happens.
Jane Austen
Image
She was stronger alone.
Jane Austen
Image
If I could not be persuaded into doing what I thought wrong, I never will be tricked into it.
Jane Austen
Image
His own enjoyment, or his own ease, was, in every particular, his ruling principle.
Jane Austen
Image
Imust have a London audience.I could never preach, but to the educated to those who were capable of estimating my composition.
Jane Austen
Image
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.
Jane Austen
Image
There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.
