"If things are going untowardly one month,..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to express them──by which means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents.”

“To love is to burn, to be on fire.”

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

“What do you think has become of the young and old men? And what do you think has become of the women and children? They are alive and well somewhere, The smallest sprout shows there is really no death, And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it, And ceas'd the moment life appear'd. All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.”

“Happiness is the ability to move forward, knowing the future will be better than the past.”

“If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.”

“Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, who so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility.”

“Sometimes you gwyne to git hurt, en sometimes you gwyne to git sick; but every time you's gwyne to git well agin.”

“This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.”
