Jane Austen
Image
But Catherine did not know her own advantages - did not know that a good-looking girl, with an affectionate heart and a very ignorant mind, cannot fail of attracting a clever young man, unless circumstances are particularly untoward.

Image
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.

Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!
Jane Austen
Image
I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men.
Jane Austen
Image
Trusting that you will some time or other do me greater justice than you can do now.
Jane Austen
Image
You are very kind in planning presents for me to make, and my mother has shown me exactly the same attention but as I do not choose to have generosity dictated to me, I shall not resolve on giving my cabinet to Anna till the first thought of it has been my own.

The mere habit of learning to love is the thing and a teachableness of disposition in a young lady is a great blessing
Jane Austen
Image
Her mind was all disorder. The past, present, future, every thing was terrible.
Jane Austen
Image
I never wish to offend, but I am so foolishly shy, that I often seem negligent, when I am only kept back by my natural awkwardness.
