Additional quotes by Jane Austen

Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can.

Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces.

Mr. Knightley, if I have not spoken, it is because I am afraid I will awaken myself from this dream. - Jane Austen
