"To begin perfect happiness at the respective..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Real solemn history, I cannot be interested in.... The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all.”

“there is not the least wit in my nature. I am a very matter of fact, plain spoken being, and may blunder on the borders of a repartee for half an hour together without striking it out.”

“I am happier than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh. Mr. Darcy sends you all the love in the world, that he can spare from me.”

“When people say they are looking for happiness, I ask, What are you giving to the world?”

“Where people are really attached, poverty itself is wealth.”

“We all have to live together, so we might as well live together happily.”

“For you and I are past our dancing days.”

“The post office has a great charm at one point of our lives. When you have lived to my age, you will begin to think letters are never worth going through the rain for.”

“Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.”
