“
There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
—Jane Austen

Me: I was kinda disappointed with how the Lizzie Bennet Diaries ended, I didn't like that Lizzie and Darcy got together...
Friend: But, sweetie, that's how Pride and Prejudice ends...
Me: I know, but, I think Jane Austen got it wrong! It needs to end differently!
Friend: How should it end?
Me: I don't know...just... differently!!!

A lady's imagination is very rapid;
it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

You pierce my soul.
I am half agony, half hope...
I have loved none but you.

"The trees, though not fully clothed, were in that delightful state, when further beauty is known to be at hand, and when, while much is actually given to the sight, more yet remains for the imagination."
