"We must not be so ready to fancy ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does."
"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun."
"I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."
"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."
"We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but this would be nothing if you really liked him."
