"At my time of life opinions are..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Had Elizabeth been able to encounter his eye, she might have seen how well the expression of heartfelt delight, diffused over his face, became him; but, though she could not look, she could listen, and he told her of feelings, which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his affection every moment more valuable.”

“I do not cough for my own amusement.”

“I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.”

“The minorities are sometimes right. The majorities never.”

“I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.”

“And I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States.”

“Great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities.”

“If you want to change the world, be that change.”

“A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.”
