Jane Austen 870 quotes

I pay very little regard...to...

I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.

Your countenance perfectly in...

Your countenance perfectly informs me that you were in company last night with the person, whom you think the most agreeable in the world, the person who interests you at this present time, more than all the rest of the world put together.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

What! Would I be turned back ...

What! Would I be turned back from doing a thing that I had determined to do, and that I knew to be right, by the airs and interference of such a person, or any person I may say? No, I have no idea of being so easily persuaded. When I have made up my mind, I have made it.

Mr. Knightley, if I have not ...

Mr. Knightley, if I have not spoken, it is because I am afraid I will awaken myself from this dream.

She tried to be calm, and leave things to take their course; and tried to dwell much on this argument of rational dependence – “Surely, if there be constant attachment on each side, our hearts must understand each other ere long. We are not boy and girl, to be captiously irritable, misled by every moment’s inadvertence, and wantonly playing with our own happiness.” And yet, a few minutes afterwards, she felt as if their being in company with each other, under their present circumstances, could only be exposing them to inadvertencies and misconstructions of the most mischievous kind.

Vanity, not love, has been my folly.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

By the bye, as I must leave off being young, I find many douceurs in being a sort of chaperon , for I am put on the sofa near the fire and can drink as much wine as I like.

Jane Austen 870 quotes

How horrible it is to have so...

How horrible it is to have so many people killed! And what a blessing that one cares for none of them!

Jane Austen 870 quotes

Real solemn history, I cannot...

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 870 quotes

She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.
