Pride and Prejudice (Quotes)

♥ “Pride is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what would have others think of us.”

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

♥ “But people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be observed in them for ever.”

♥ "Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast."

♥ “Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone, she gave way to it as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections.”

♥ “There certainly was some great mismanagement in the education of those two young men. One has got all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it.”

♥ “One may be continually abusive without saying anything just; but one cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.”

♥ “To have his errors made public might ruin him for ever. He is now perhaps sorry for what he has done, and anxious to re-establish a character. We must not make him desperate.''

 “He was fond of the country and of books; and from these tastes had arisen his principal enjoyments.” (referring to Mr Bennet)

This is why I also admire their father. He has a library!

“Upon the whole, therefore, she found, what has been sometimes found before, that an event to which she had looked forward with impatient desire, did not in taking place, bring all the satisfaction she had promised herself.”

♥ “Unhappy as the event must be for Lydia, we may draw from it this useful lesson: that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable; that one false step involves her in endless ruin; that her reputation is no less brittle than it is beautiful; and that she cannot be too much guarded in her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex.”

♥ "'Tis an etiquette I despise. If he wants our society, let him seek it. He knows where we live. I will not spend my hours in running after my neighbours every time they go away and come back again."

♥ “Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.”
