Jane Austen
The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves it is the woman only who can make it a torment.
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
My good qualities are under your protection, and you are to exaggerate them as much as possible and, in return, it belongs to me to find occasion for teasing and quarreling with you as often as may be.
Jane Austen
I am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed!
Jane Austen
An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.
Jane Austen
