"Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation."

"Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than marry without affection."

"I have been used to consider poetry as "the food of love"said Darcy."Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what isstrong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, Iam convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."

"I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

"How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!"
