More quotes by Jane Austen

Image
They parted at last with mutual civility, and possibly a mutual desire of never meeting again.
Jane Austen
Image
I cannot make speeches, Emma...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it.

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.

Time will generally lessen the interest of every attachment not within the daily circle.
Jane Austen
Image
Everything nourishes what is strong already
Jane Austen
Image
You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking and looking, and thinking for your approbation alone. I roused, and interested you, because I was so unlike them.
Jane Austen
Image
Her heart did whisper that he had done it for her.
Jane Austen
Image
The distance is nothing when one has a motive.
Jane Austen
Image
A fondness for reading, which, properly directed, must be an education in itself.
