Famous quotes containing the word austen:

    A submissive spirit might be patient, a strong understanding would supply resolution, but here was something more; here was that elasticity of mind, that disposition to be comforted, that power of turning readily from evil to good, and of finding employment which carried her out of herself, which was from Nature alone. It was the choicest gift of heaven.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    A young woman, pretty, lively, with a harp as elegant as herself; and both placed near a window, cut down to the ground, and opening on a little lawn, surrounded in the rich foliage of summer, was enough to catch any man’s heart. The season, the scene, the air, were all favourable to tenderness and sentiment.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    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)
