Jane Austen
Image
When the evening was over, Anne could not be amused…nor could she help fearing, on more serious reflection, that, like many other great moralists and preachers, she had been eloquent on a point in which her own conduct would ill bear examination.

Jane Austen
Image
Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required.
Jane Austen
Image
I have not the pleasure of understanding you.
Jane Austen
Image
I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.
Jane Austen
Image
My dear Mr. Bennet, said his lady to him one day, have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?
Jane Austen
Image
But if I were you, I would stand by the nephew. He has more to give.
Jane Austen
Image
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.
