Nobody minds having what is too good for them.
Jane Austen
Image
I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
I am sure of this, that if everybody was to drink their bottle a day, there would be not half the disorders in the world there are now. It would be a famous good thing for us all.
Jane Austen
Image
The sooner every party breaks up the better.
Jane Austen

Men of sense, whatever you may choose to say, do not want silly wives.
Jane Austen
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. But, fair or not fair, there are unbecoming conjunctions, which reason will pa tronize in vain,--which taste cannot tolerate,--which ridicule will seize.

Jane Austen
Image
She had a lively, playful disposition that delighted in anything ridiculous.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
Image
My heart is, and always will be, yours.
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering?
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
The post-office is a wonderful establishment! The regularity and dispatch of it! If one thinks of all that it has to do, and all that it does so well, it is really astonishing!
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
Whom are you going to dance with?' asked Mr. Knightley. She hesitated a moment and then replied, 'With you, if you will ask me.' Will you?' said he, offering his hand. Indeed I will. You have shown that you can dance, and you know we are not really so much brother and sister as to make it at all improper.' Brother and sister! no, indeed.
