“There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.”

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!

Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures.

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water.
