Elizabeth Bennet

"I respect you. I thank you for my smelling salts—but I have none."

"Till this moment, I never knew what it was to be happy."

"How despicably I have acted! How scandalous my indifference has been!"

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

"I love you. A thousand times over, I love you."

"My mistakes have been many, but I knew that—I was wrong in everything."

"I am the happiest creature in the world."

"My good qualities are under your protection, and you are to exaggerate them as much as possible."

"You are too hasty, sir! You forget that I have made no answer. Let me do it without further loss of time."

"If you will thank me, let it be for yourself alone."

"I hope I am not one of those ladies who have nothing to talk about but their feelings."

"This is no very striking instance of extraordinary delay, for it all took place the evening before my departure."

"You have taught me to understand myself."

"I am not afraid of you."

"Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure."

"The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor."

"I have none of the talent which some people possess for conversing easily with those I have never seen before."

"A lady is not to be taken in by the attentions of a man."

"Do not you feel a great inclination, Mrs. Bennet, to go to Meryton?"

"I wish as well as everybody else to be perfectly happy."

"I hope I have not been hasty in my judgments."

"You excel so much in the dance, Miss Bennet."

"I am determined to get to the bottom of this."

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well."

"Foolish as the collection of these letters must appear, I yet mean to treasure them."

"The improvement of the world is in the power of the good."

"I begin to comprehend that a woman may take liberties with her husband which a wife must not take with her suitor."

"You have insulted me in every possible method."

"I cannot accept compliments on my wit when they must be forever at the expense of others."

"Let me not be hasty in my judgments."
