THAT TOOK FOREVER.

What is your favorite Jane Austen novel? Mine is either Pride and Prejudice or Emma. In Pride and Prejudice, I empathize with Mr. Darcy because I am socially awkward, just like him, but I empathize with Emma in Emma because I am very nosy :x.


1.

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”
-- Emma by Jane Austen





2.

“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!”
--Sense and Sensibility





3.

"You are in a melancholy humour, and fancy that any one unlike yourself must be happy. But remember that the pain of parting from friends will be felt by every body at times, whatever be their education or state. Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience-or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope."

--Sense and Sensibility




4.

"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love."

--Northanger Abbey





5.

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”
--Pride and Prejudice




6.

“I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now I am at the liberty to do so, that my heart is and will always be yours.”
--Sense and Sensibility




7.

“Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.”
--Persuasion




8.

“My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”
--Pride and Prejudice




9.

“Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can’t be without.”
--Pride and Prejudice




10.

“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.”
--Pride and Prejudice




11.

“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.”
--Emma




12.

“Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.”
-Emma




13.

--Sense and Sensibility




14.

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?”

--Pride and Prejudice





16.

"She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequence of an unnatural beginning."
--Persuasion


17.

“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever.”

--Persuasion




18.

“The less said, the better.”
