More quotes by Jane Austen
She was convinced that she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they should meet.
Jane Austen
What praise is more valuable than the praise of an intelligent servant?
Jane Austen
Real solemn history, I cannot be interested in.... The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences in every page the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all.
Jane Austen
Every man is surrounded by a neighborhood of voluntary spies.
Jane Austen
I cannot make speeches, Emma...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it.
Jane Austen

Now be sincere did you admire me for my impertinence? For the liveliness of your mind, I did.
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
Indeed, I am very sorry to be right in this instance. I would much rather have been merry than wise.
Jane Austen
And what am I to do on the occasion? -- It seems an hopeless business.
Jane Austen
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its fragrance on the desert air.
Jane Austen
With women, the heart argues, not the mind.
Jane Austen
I do suspect that he is not really necessary to my happiness.
Jane Austen
Those who have not more must be satisfied with what they have.
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
