More quotes by Jane Austen
Provided that nothing like useful knowledge could be gained from them, provided they were all story and no reflection, she had never any objection to books at all.
Jane Austen
I have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our eyes.
Jane Austen
To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.
Jane Austen
I certainly have not the talent which some people possess, said Darcy, of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done.
Jane Austen
Everybody has their taste in noises as well as in other matters and sounds are quite innoxious, or most distressing, by their sort rather than their quantity.
Jane Austen
There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.
Jane Austen

Teach us almighty father, to consider this solemn truth, as we should do, that we may feel the importance of every day, and every hour as it passes.
Jane Austen
No one can be really esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met with.
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
she was oppressed, she was overcome by her own felicity and happily disposed as is the human mind to be easily familiarized with any change for the better, it required several hours to give sedateness to her spirits, or any degree of tranquillity to her heart.
Jane Austen
it is very well worthwhile to be tormented for two or three years of one's life, for the sake of being able to read all the rest of it.
Jane Austen
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.
Jane Austen
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
A very narrow income has a tendency to contract the mind, and sour the temper. Those who can barely live, and who live perforce in a very small, and generally very inferior, society, may well be illiberal and cross.
Jane Austen
one day in the country is exactly like another.
