Jane Austen's Letters
by Jane Austen, Deirdre Le Faye
Memorable Quotes by Jane Austen:
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
“There was a monstrous deal of stupid quizzing, & common-place nonsense talked, but scarcely any Wit...”
“I hate tiny parties - they force one into constant exertion.”
“Expect a most agreeable Letter; for not being overburdened with subject - (having nothing to say at all) - I shall have no check to my Genius from beginning to end.”
“I do not know what is the matter with me to day, but I cannot write quietly; I am always wandering away into some exclamation or other.”
“You deserve a longer letter than this; but it is my unhappy fate seldom to treat people so well as they deserve.”
“I am very fond of experimental housekeeping...”
“Mrs. Hall of Sherbourn was brought to bed yesterday of a dead child, some weeks before she expected, oweing to a fright. - I suppose she happened unawares to look at her husband.”
“What dreadful Hot weather we have! - It keeps one in a continual state of Inelegance.”
“"Here I am once more in this Scene of Dissipation & vice, and I begin already to find my Morals corrupted."”
“I am very much flattered by your commendation of my last Letter, for I write only for Fame, and without any view to pecuniary Emolument.”
