Upon my word, you five your opinion very decidedly for so young a person.
Jane Austen
It was rather too late in the day to set about being simple-minded and ignorant.
Jane Austen
It is a most repulsive quality, indeed,’ said he. ‘Oftentimes very convenient, no doubt, but never pleasing. There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person.’‘Not till the reserve ceases towards oneself; and then the attraction may be the greater.
Jane Austen
I never saw quite so wretched an example of what a sea-faring life can do: but to a degree, I know it is the same with them all; they are all knocked about, and exposed to every climate, and every weather, till they are not fit to be seen.

She left it all behind her, all but the recollection that such things had been.
