How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

"She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me, and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men."

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

"We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but this would be nothing if you really liked him."

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

"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."
