"I was quiet but I was not..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Is not poetry the food of love?”

“There is nothing like employment, active indispensable employment, for relieving sorrow. Employment, even melancholy, may dispel melancholy.”

“A man does not recover from such devotion of the heart to such a woman! He ought not; he does not.”

“My vicinity affords many good walks; and though for so many years I have walked almost every day, and sometimes for several days together, I have not yet exhausted them. An absolutely new prospect is a great happiness, and I can still get this any afternoon. Two or three hours' walking will carry me to as strange a country as I ever expect to see.”

“We are all of us more or less active physiognomists.”

“No one is listening until you make a mistake.”

“Someone could walk into this room and say your life is on fire.”

“The blame is on me...I knew you were trouble when you walked in.”

“As the skies appear to a man, so is his mind. Some see only clouds there; some, prodigies and portents; some rarely look up at all; their heads, like the brutes,' are directed toward Earth. Some behold there serenity, purity, beauty ineffable. The world runs to see the panorama, when there is a panorama in the sky which few go to see.”
