Elizabeth Bennet

"Nothing is more natural than to make mistakes in youth."

"Let others toil for gold and fame; I wish but to live quietly by my own exertions."

"To know oneself is the beginning of all wisdom."

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

"I am not at all in a humour for talking. Go away!"

"There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others."

"I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

"The more I see of the world, the more I am dissatisfied with it."

"You have delighted us long enough."

"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!"

"It does not follow that a deep, intricate character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours."

"Do not be alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter."

"I am perfectly convinced that Mr. Darcy has not the smallest regard for me."

"Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility."

"We all love to instruct, though we can teach only what we already know."

"Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now."

"Be happy, and you will always be handsome."

"I found that he was not rendered the least uncomfortable by the certainty of my dislike."

"Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way."

"I should like balls infinitely better if they were carried on in a different manner."

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends."

"No, no, don't think ill of me. I have had the pleasure of knowing you long enough to know you are capable of much steadier attachment."

"I am determined that only the deepest love will induce me into matrimony."

"It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us."

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

"You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it."

"I am a cruel creature, aren't I?"

"It has been the circumstance, I believe, of knowing you to be as thorough a gentleman as ever I beheld."

"Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself against you, I can have little hope that anything will turn my opinion."

"I dearly love a laugh."
