"He had an affectionate heart. He..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“my courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.”

“You either choose this method of passing the evening because you are in each other's confidence, and have secret affairs to discuss, or because you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage in walking;— if the first, I should be completely in your way, and if the second, I can admire you much better as I sit by the fire.”

“Fraternal love, sometimes almost every thing, is at others worse than nothing.”

“True love is boundless like the ocean and, swelling within one, spreads itself out and, crossing all boundaries and frontiers, envelops the whole world.”

“Over the years they both reached the same wise conclusion by different paths: it was not possible to live together in any other way, or love in any other way, and nothing in this world was more difficult than love.”

“Love is a misunderstanding between two fools.”

“We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good man and a bad one is the choice of the cause.”

“Man is the highest being in creation, because he attains to freedom.”

“Too much of the animal disfigures the civilized human being, too much culture makes a sick animal.”
