More quotes by Jane Austen

Image
An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged no harm can be done.
Jane Austen
Image
There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
Jane Austen
Image
Had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you.
Jane Austen
Image
My heart is, and always will be, yours.
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!

Image
Which of all my important nothings shall I tell you first?
Jane Austen
Image
Give me but a little cheerful company, let me only have the company of the people I love, let me only be where I like and with whom I like, and the devil may take the rest, say I.
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
I am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures of this world are always to be for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving readi-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.
Jane Austen
Image
If people like to read their books, it is all very well, but to be at so much trouble in filling great volumes, which, as I used to think, nobody would willingly ever look into, to be labouring only for the torment of little boys and girls, always struck me as a hard fate.
Jane Austen
Image
I have not the pleasure of understanding you.
Jane Austen
Image
A very short trial convinced her that a curricle was the prettiest equipage in the world.
Jane Austen
Image
How quick come the reasons for approving what we like!
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
She was stronger alone and her own good sense so well supported her, that her firmness was as unshaken, her appearance of cheerfulness as invariable, as, with regrets so poignant and so fresh, it was possible for them to be.
Jane Austen
Image
From politics it was an easy step to silence.
Jane Austen
Image
A Woman never looks better than on horseback
Jane Austen
Image
Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves.
Jane Austen
Image
Where a man does his best with only moderate powers, he will have the advantage over negligent superiority.
