Jane Austen
Image
There is hardly any personal defect... which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to.
Jane Austen
Image
I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter in all my feelings the same books, the same music must charm us both.

Jane Austen
Image
I do regard her as one who is too modest for the world in general to be aware of half her accomplishments, and too highly accomplished for modesty to be natural of any other woman.

Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
A persuadable temper might sometimes be as much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character.
Jane Austen
Image
Personal size and mental sorrow have certainly no necessary proportions. A large bulky figure has a good a right to be in deep affliction, as the most graceful set of limbs in the world. But, fair or not fair, there are unbecoming conjunctions, which reason will pa tronize in vain,--which taste cannot tolerate,--which ridicule will seize.
Jane Austen
Image
I have never yet found that the advice of a Sister could prevent a young Man's being in love if he chose it.

Let us have the luxury of silence.
