Strana 164 - Dear Miss Morland, consider the dreadful nature of the suspicions you have entertained. What have you heen judging from ? Remember the country and the age in which we live. Remember that we are English, that we are Christians.
Strana 302 - ... the strong feelings which alone could estimate it truly were the very feelings which ought to taste it but sparingly.
Strana 216 - Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did; nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society.
Strana 22 - I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom, «o common with novel writers, of degrading, by their contemptuous censure, the very performances to the number of which they are themselves adding : joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid pages with disgust.

Strana 273 - Captain Wentworth should be allowed some credit for the selfcommand with which he attended to her large fat sighings over the destiny of a son, whom alive nobody had cared for.
Strana 295 - My dear admiral, that post!— we shall certainly take that post." But by coolly giving the reins a better direction herself, they happily passed the danger; and by once afterwards judiciously putting out her hand, they neither fell into a rut, nor ran foul of a dung-cart; and Anne, with some amusement at their style of driving, which she imagined no bad representation of the general guidance of their affairs, found herself safely deposited by them at the cottage.
Strana 440 - She gloried In being a sailor's wife, but she must pay the tax of quick alarm for belonging to that profession which is, if possible, more distinguished in its domestic virtues than in its national importance.
Strana 87 - The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars or pestilences in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all, it is very tiresome; and yet I often think it odd that it should be so dull, for a great deal of it must be invention. The speeches that are put into the heroes...
