BOOK STARTERS VOL.49 EMMA JANE AUSTEN
- ❛ Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way. ❜
- ❛ I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control. ❜
- ❛ If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. ❜
- ❛ I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other. ❜
- ❛ 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 would have borne it. ❜
- ❛ There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves. ❜
- ❛ One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. ❜
- ❛ Better be without sense than misapply it as you do. ❜
- ❛ You must be the best judge of your own happiness. ❜
- ❛ Were I to fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing ; but I have never been in love ; it is not my way, or my nature ; and I do not think I ever shall. ❜
- ❛ Indeed, I am very sorry to be right in this instance. I would much rather have been merry than wise. ❜
- ❛ If I have not spoken, it is because I am afraid I will awaken myself from this dream. ❜
- ❛ If a woman doubts as to whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him. ❜
- ❛ Faultless in spite of all her faults. ❜
- ❛ A heroine whom no one but myself will much like. ❜
- ❛ There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart. ❜
- ❛ Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its fragrance on the desert air. ❜
- ❛ I pity you. I thought you cleverer. ❜
- ❛ Evil to some is always good to others. ❜
- ❛ I certainly will not persuade myself to feel more than I do. ❜
- ❛ She is loveliness itself. ❜
- ❛ Time does not compose me. ❜
- ❛ A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her. ❜
- ❛ I do not find myself making any use of the word sacrifice. ❜
- ❛ I am quite enough in love. I should be sorry to be any more. ❜
- ❛ I must tell you what you will not ask, though I may wish it unsaid the next moment. ❜
- ❛ I examined my own heart. And there you were. Never, I fear, to be removed. ❜
- ❛ With all your little faults, you are an excellent creature. ❜
- ❛ You have another long walk before you. ❜
