Austen

Famous quotes containing the word austen:

    Lady Sondes’ match surprises, but does not offend me; had her
    first marriage been of affection, or had their been a grown-up
    daughter, I should not have forgiven her; but I consider
    everybody as having a right to marry once in their lives for
    love, if they can.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    What did she say?—Just what she ought, of course. A lady always does.—She said enough to show there need not be despair—and to invite him to say more himself.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    If things are going untowardly one month, they are sure to mend the next.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)
