The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.”

“It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some kind of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples.”

“The best of life is conversation, and the greatest success is confidence, or perfect understanding between sincere people.”

“Learned conversation is either the affectation of the ignorant or the profession of the mentally unemployed.”

“More than at any other time, when I hold a beloved book in my hand my limitations fall from me, my spirit is free.”

“I sometimes close my eyes during a show because I have drawn a picture of an audience enjoying the show more on the back of my eyelids.”

“A safe fairyland is untrue to all worlds.”
