Where youth and diffidence are united, it requires uncommon steadiness of reason to resist the attraction of being called the most charming girl in the world.
Jane Austen

I would much rather have been merry than wise.
Jane Austen

You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner.

Jane Austen
Image
An annuity is a very serious business.
Jane Austen
Image
She felt that she could so much more depend upon the sincerity of those who sometimes looked or said a careless or a hasty thing, than of those whose presence of mind never varied, whose tongue never slipped.
Jane Austen
Image
I have read your book, and I disapprove.
Jane Austen
Image
A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her.
Jane Austen
Image
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves vanity, to what we would have others think of us.
Jane Austen
Image
You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.
Jane Austen
Image
One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering.
Jane Austen
Image
A person who is knowingly bent on bad behavior, gets upset when better behavior is expected of them.
