"One man's style must not be the..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.”

“If things are going untowardly one month, they are sure to mend the next.”

“This is an evening of wonders, indeed!”

“We human beings are strange creatures and still reserve the right to think for ourselves.”

“Other people are occupied, I alone am unwilling, like the outcast.”

“The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.”

“Doing as others told me, I was Blind. Coming when others called me, I was Lost. Then I left everyone, myself as well. Then I found Everyone, Myself as well.”

“For, after all, the foundation of our whole nature, and, therefore, of our happiness, is our physique, and the most essential factor in happiness is health, and, next in importance after health, the ability to maintain ourselves in independence and freedom from care.”

“I just don't feel like I have to explain myself.”
