Memorable Quotes by Anne Elliot:
“All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one, you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.”
“"Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. ...the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything"”
“when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure.”
