Austen Visits

Famous quotes containing the words austen and/or visits:

    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)

    At La Scala it is customary to take no more than twenty minutes for those little visits one pays to boxes.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
