More quotes by Jane Austen
Perfect happiness, even in memory, is not common.
Jane Austen
The evening ended with dancing. On its being proposed, Anne offered her services, as usual, and though her eyes would sometimes fill with tears as she sat at the instrument, she was extremely glad to be employed, and desired nothing in return but to be unobserved.
Jane Austen
She was stronger alone.
Jane Austen
Marry me. Marry me, my wonderful, darling friend.
Jane Austen
Good company requires only birth, education, and manners, and with regard to education is not very nice. Birth and good manners are essential but a little learning is by no means a dangerous thing in good company on the contrary, it will do very well.
Jane Austen
The truth is, that in London it is always a sickly season. Nobody is healthy in London, nobody can be.
Jane Austen
I am all astonishment.
Jane Austen
Pity is for this life, pity is the worm inside the meat, pity is the meat, pity is the shaking pencil, pity is the shaking voice-- not enough money, not enough love--pity for all of us--it is our grace, walking down the ramp or on the moving sidewalk, sitting in a chair, reading the paper, pity, turning a leaf to the light, arranging a thorn.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of.
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
Almost anything is possible with time
Jane Austen
What wild imaginations one forms where dear self is concerned! How sure to be mistaken!
Jane Austen
When any two young people take it into their heads to marry, they are pretty sure by perseverance to carry their point, be they ever so poor, or ever so imprudent, or ever so little likely to be necessary to each other's ultimate comfort.
Jane Austen
She was sensible and clever, but eager in everything her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation.
Jane Austen
She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of admiration to so great a man.
Jane Austen
Never could I expect to be so truly beloved and important so always first and always right in any man's eyes as I am in my father's.
Jane Austen
Arguments are too much like disputes.
Jane Austen
Were I to fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing! but I never have been in love it is not my way, or my nature and I do not think I ever shall.
Jane Austen
In every power, of which taste is the foundation, excellence is pretty fairly divided between the sexes.
Jane Austen
