"Every moment had its pleasure and its..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“I particularly recollect your saying one night, after they had been dining at Netherfield, 'SHE a beauty!--I should as soon call her mother a wit.' But afterwards she seemed to improve on you, and I believe you thought her rather pretty at one time." "Yes," replied Darcy, who could contain himself no longer, "but THAT was only when I first saw her, for it is many months since I have considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance.”

“[W]here other powers of entertainment are wanting, the true philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given.”

“That is what I like; that is what a young man ought to be. Whatever be his pursuits, his eagerness in them should know no moderation, and leave him no sense of fatigue.”

“He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.”

“For in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often -- will it be for always? -- how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"? The same leg is cut off time after time.”

“Many a maiden,With white feet glancing light as air,Made happy music through the gloom.”

“What we call pleasure, and rightly so is the absence of all pain.”

“Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.”

“As a chef I’m not your dietitian or your ethicist, I’m in the pleasure business.”
