Jane Austen Quotes

I write about violence as naturally as Jane Austen wrote about manners. Violence shapes and obsesses our society, and if we do not stop being violent we have no future Picture Quote #1

It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language Picture Quote #1

If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time Picture Quote #1

I always advise children who ask me for tips on being a writer to read as much as they possibly can. Jane Austen gave a young friend the same advice, so I’m in good company there Picture Quote #1

Mr. Collins is a conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man; you know he is, as well as I do; and you must feel, as well as I do, that the woman who married him cannot have a proper way of thinking Picture Quote #1

There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty; not by manoeuvring and finessing, but by vigour and resolution. - Mr. Knightley Picture Quote #1

You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever Picture Quote #1

All reading is good reading. And all reading of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens is sublime reading Picture Quote #1

An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do Picture Quote #1

Whom are you going to dance with?’ asked Mr. Knightley. She hesitated a moment and then replied, ‘With you, if you will ask me.’ Will you?’ said he, offering his hand. Indeed I will. You have shown that you can dance, and you know we are not really so much brother and sister as to make it at all improper.’ Brother and sister! no, indeed Picture Quote #1

To you I shall say, as I have often said before, Do not be in a hurry, the right man will come at last Picture Quote #1

Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience- or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope Picture Quote #1

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. -Mr. Darcy Picture Quote #1

Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation Picture Quote #1

Mr. Darcy began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention Picture Quote #1

But remember that the pain of parting from friends will be felt by everybody 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 Picture Quote #1

But a sanguine temper, though for ever expecting more good than occurs, does not always pay for its hopes by any proportionate depression. it soon flies over the present failure, and begins to hope again Picture Quote #1

I certainly will not persuade myself to feel more than I do. I am quite enough in love. I should be sorry to be more Picture Quote #1

I am happier than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh. Mr. Darcy sends you all the love in the world, that he can spare from me Picture Quote #1

Mr. Knightley seemed to be trying not to smile; and succeeded without difficulty, upon Mrs. Elton’s beginning to talk to him Picture Quote #1

Jane Austen may not be the best writer, but she certainly writes about the best people. And by that I mean people just like me Picture Quote #1

Marianne Dashwood was born to an extraordinary fate. She was born to discover the falsehood of her own opinions, and to counteract, by her conduct, her most favourite maxims Picture Quote #1

I believed in happily ever after as much as anyone, because Jane Austen, Prince Charming, and Hugh Grant promised me it could happen. But maybe that particular delusion was universal Picture Quote #1

We met Dr. Hall in such deep mourning that either his mother, his wife, or himself must be dead Picture Quote #1

Jane Austen, much in advance of her day, was a mistress of the use of the dialogue. She used it as dialogue should be used-to advance the story; not only to show the characters, but to advance Picture Quote #1

She is never alone when she has Her Books. Books, to her, are Friends. Give her Shakespeare or Jane Austen, Meredith or Hardy, and she is Lost - lost in a world of her own. She sleeps so little that most of her nights are spent reading Picture Quote #1

Jane Austen: Getting into her books is like getting in bed with a cadaver. Something vital is lacking; namely, life Picture Quote #1

If there is a heaven, Jane Austen is sitting in a small room with Mother Teresa and Princess Diana, listening to Duran Duran, forever. If there’s a hell, she’s standing Picture Quote #1

She had nothing to wish otherwise, but that the days did not pass so swiftly. It was a delightful visit;-perfect, in being much too short Picture Quote #1

Her family had of late been exceedingly fluctuating. For many years of her life she had had two sons; but the crime and annihilation of Edward a few weeks ago, had robbed her of one; the similar annihilation of Robert had left her for a fortnight without any; and now, by the resurrection of Edward, she had one again Picture Quote #1
