"“I often think,” said she, “that there..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Personal size and mental sorrow have certainly no necessary proportions. A large bulky figure has a good a right to be in deep affliction, as the most graceful set of limbs in the world. But, fair or not fair, there are unbecoming conjunctions, which reason will pa tronize in vain,--which taste cannot tolerate,--which ridicule will seize.”

“A mind lively and at ease, can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.”

“To love is to burn, to be on fire.”

“They ought to be gentle to their friends and dangerous to their enemies.”

“A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.”

“I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they're actresses or singers or things like that.”

“For I do not want any one to read my book carelessly. I have suffered too much grief in setting down these memories. Six years have already passed since my friend went away from me, with his sheep. If I try to describe him here, it is to make sure that I shall not forget him. To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures.”

“I lost you once, I think I can do it again.”

“The cigarettes you light one after another won’t help you forget her.”
