More quotes by Jane Austen
It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.
Jane Austen
I go too long without picking up a good book, I feel like I've done nothing useful with my life.
Jane Austen
Oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general. You never see fault in any body. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life. I would wish not to be hasty in censuring any one but I always speak what I think.
Jane Austen
We can all begin freely—a slight preference is natural enough but there are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement.
Jane Austen
I certainly must,' said she. 'This sensation of listlessness, weariness, stupidity, this disinclination to sit down and employ myself, this feeling of everything's being dull and insipid about the house! I must be in love I should be the oddest creature in the world if I were not.
Jane Austen
But to live in ignorance on such a point was impossible.
Jane Austen
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.

I have always maintained the importance of Aunts
Jane Austen
How can I dispose of myself with it?
Jane Austen
Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation.
Jane Austen
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
Every young lady may feel for my heroine in this critical moment, for every young lady has at some time or other known the same agitation.
Jane Austen
From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced.
Jane Austen
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
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
If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time.
Jane Austen
I was quiet but I was not blind.
Jane Austen
Indeed, I am very sorry to be right in this instance. I would much rather have been merry than wise.
Jane Austen
An artist cannot do anything slovenly.
Jane Austen
There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person.
