Austen Family

Famous quotes containing the words austen and/or family:

    Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery. I quit such odious subjects as soon as I can, impatient to restore every body, not greatly in fault themselves, to tolerable comfort, and to have done with all the rest.

    A family with the wrong members in control—that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.
