"A very short trial convinced her that..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.”

“Better be without sense than misapply it as you do.”

“There was no being displeased with such an encourager, for his admiration made him discern a likeness before it was possible.”

“It would be an egregious mistake to ever refer to me in the same breath as most of the people I write about.”

“It is the characteristic of the most stringent censorships that they give credibility to the opinions they attack.”

“It is the man who does not want to express an opinion whose opinion I want.”

“There are no ugly loves nor handsome prisons.”

“Never give all the heart, for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women if it seem Certain, and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight. O Never give the heart outright, For they, for all smooth lips can say, Have given their hearts up to the play. And who could play it well enough If deaf and dumb and blind with love? He that made this knows all the cost, For he gave all his heart and lost.”

“Can you see the beauty in a cockroach?”
