It was a gloomy prospect, and all that she could do was to throw a mist over it, and hope when the mist cleared away, she should see something else.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

She knew that what Marianne a...

She knew that what Marianne and her mother conjectured one moment, they believed the next: that with them, to wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

I certainly have not the tale...

I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said Darcy, "of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

We certainly do not forget yo...

We certainly do not forget you, so soon as you forget us. It is, perhaps, our fate rather than our merit. We cannot help ourselves.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

Could there be finer symptoms...

Could there be finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?

Jane Austen 870 quotes

Thus much indeed he was oblig...

Thus much indeed he was obliged to acknowledge - that he had been constant unconsciously, nay unintentionally; that he had meant to forget her, and believed it to be done. He had imagined himself indifferent, when he had only been angry; and he had been unjust to her merits, because he had been a sufferer from them.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

She would have liked to know ...

She would have liked to know how he felt as to a meeting. Perhaps indifferent, if indifference could exist under such circumstances. He must be either indifferent or unwilling. Has he wished ever to see her again, he need not have waited till this time; he would have done what she could not but believe that in his place she should have done long ago, when events had been early giving him the indepencence which alone had been wanting.

There are few people whom I really love and still fewer of whom I think well.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

It may be possible to do with...

It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

If a woman conceals her affec...

If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him; and it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in the dark. There is so much of gratitude or vanity in almost any attachment, that it is not safe to leave any to itself. We can all begin ‘freely’- as light preference is natural enough; but there are very few of us who have a heart enough to be really in love without encouragement.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

I particularly recollect your...

I particularly recollect your saying one night, after they had been dining at Netherfield, 'SHE a beauty!--I should as soon call her mother a wit.' But afterwards she seemed to improve on you, and I believe you thought her rather pretty at one time." "Yes," replied Darcy, who could contain himself no longer, "but THAT was only when I first saw her, for it is many months since I have considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance.

A family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

Elinor agreed with it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

Is there not something wanted...

Is there not something wanted, Miss Price, in our language - a something between compliments and - and love - to suit the sort of friendly acquaintance we have had together?

Jane Austen 870 quotes

To be so bent on Marriage - t...

To be so bent on Marriage - to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation - is a sort of thing that shocks me; I cannot understand it. Poverty is a great Evil, but to a woman of Education and feeling it ought not, it cannot be the greatest. I would rather be a teacher at a school (and I can think of nothing worse) than marry a man I did not like.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

Nay," cried Bingley, "this is too much, to remember at night all the foolish things that were said in the morning.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

One half of her should not be...

One half of her should not be always so much wiser than the other half.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

You either choose this method...

You either choose this method of passing the evening because you are in each other's confidence, and have secret affairs to discuss, or because you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage in walking;— if the first, I should be completely in your way, and if the second, I can admire you much better as I sit by the fire.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

The last few hours were certainly very painful," replied Anne: "but when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering-
