Quotes

If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I would have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love... I love... I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy Jane Austen
Were I to fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing! but I have never been in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall. And, without love, I am sure I should be a fool to change such a situation as mine. Jane Austen

The difference in Miss Denham's countenance, the change from Miss Denham sitting in cold grandeur in Mrs. Parker's drawing room, to be kept from silence by the efforts of others, to Miss Denham at Lady Denham's elbow, listening and talking with smiling attention or solicitous eagerness, was very striking -- and very amusing or very melancholy, just as satire or morality might prevail. Jane Austen
You shall not, for the sake of one individual, change the meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavour to persuade yourself or me, that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of danger security for happiness. Jane Austen
If gratitude and esteem are good foundations of affection, Elizabeth's change of sentiment will be neither improbable nor faulty. But if otherwise--if regard springing from such sources is unreasonable or unnatural, in comparison of what is so often described as arising on a first interview with its object, and even before two words have been exchanged, nothing can be said in her defence, except that she had given somewhat of a trial to the latter method in her partiality for Wickham, and... Jane Austen
I understand Crawford paid you a visit?"Yes."And was he attentive?"Yes, very."And has your heart changed towards him?"Yes. Several times. I have - I find that I - I find that-"Shh. Surely you and I are beyond speaking when words are clearly not enough.... I missed you."And I you. Jane Austen
There was certainly at this moment, in Elizabeth's mind, a more gentle sensation towards the original, that she had ever felt in the height of their acquaintance. Elizabeth's changing relationship with Darcy on first visit to Pemberley, Chapter 43. Jane Austen
You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever... Jane Austen
Jane Austen quote: "I have changed my mind, and changed the trimmings of my cap..."
I have changed my mind, and changed the trimmings of my cap this morning; they are now such as you suggested. Jane Austen
Jane Austen quote: "How wonderful, how very wonderful the operations of time, and..."
How wonderful, how very wonderful the operations of time, and the changes of the human mind! Jane Austen
she was oppressed, she was overcome by her own felicity; and happily disposed as is the human mind to be easily familiarized with any change for the better, it required several hours to give sedateness to her spirits, or any degree of tranquillity to her heart. Jane Austen
Jane Austen quote: "Poor woman! She probably thought change of air might agree..."
Poor woman! She probably thought change of air might agree with many of her children. Jane Austen
Jane Austen quote: "Nothing can be changed by changing the face, but everything..."
Nothing can be changed by changing the face, but everything can be changed by facing the change!! Just think about it? Jane Austen
Jane Austen quote: "What one means one day, you know, one may not mean the next...."
What one means one day, you know, one may not mean the next. Circumstances change, opinions alter. Jane Austen
