"Why not seize the pleasure at once?..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“It was a delightful visit;-perfect, in being much too short.”

“Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled.”

“Never could I expect to be so truly beloved and important; so always first and always right in any man's eyes as I am in my father's.”

“We do not sing because we are happy, we are happy because we sing.”

“To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.”

“Happiness is the result of what you do.”

“Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!”

“The most intense joy, lies not in the having, but in the desire, Delight that never fades, bliss that is eternal, Is only your, when what you most desire, is just out of reach...Anthony Hopkins, from the movie Shadowlands, where he plays C.S. Lewis”

“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty.”
