It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. - Pride and Prejudice
"'A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from; and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals.'"
- Emma
To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive. - Northanger Abbey
When the romantic refinements of a young mind are obliged to give way, how frequently are they succeeded by such opinions as are but too common and too dangerous!
- Sense and Sensibility
These are just a few of my many favorite quotes as written by Jane Austen. No one speaks or writes words like these anymore. It's almost like a lost art whose only means of survival is through these classic stories written ages ago. And it will live on if I have anything to say about it.....
