Letter "J" » Jane Austen Quotes
«It is only poverty that makes celibacy contemptible. A single woman of good fortune is always respectable.»
«Well! Evil to some is always good to others.»
«It is indolence... Indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.»
«How quick come the reasons for approving what we like!»
«If there is anything disagreeable going on men are always sure to get out of it»
«It will be a bitter pill to her, that is, like other bitter pills, it will have two moments ill-flavor, and then be swallowed and forgotten»
«Nobody is on my side, nobody takes part with me: I am cruelly used, nobody feels for my poor nerves.»
«One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering.»
«Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way»
«Indeed, I am very sorry to be right in this instance. I would much rather have been merry than wise.»
