Elizabeth Bennet

"The world is not always what it seems."

"This is a circumstance which greatly shortens the date of my rejoicing."

"I thought it my duty to use the utmost dispatch."

"There is something so abominable in his pride."

"You are fortunate in your friends."

"Will you tell me how long you have felt this way?"

"I could not be happy with a man whose sense of duty did not accord with my own."

"Let me see how happy I can make you."

"I have nothing further to say to you on the matter."

"The mind of a woman is not easily satisfied."

"I shall bear witness to your conduct."

"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 afraid of you."

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

"You have deprived me of my companion and ruined the most cheerful of my affections."

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

"It does not do to trust blindly in appearances."

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

"The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love."

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

"A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and modern languages to deserve the word."

"I am perfectly convinced by it that Mr. Darcy has no defect."

"How despicably have I acted! I, who have prided myself on my discernment!"

"If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him."

"Do not you think I did well?"

"I have not the pleasure of understanding you."

"You must give me leave to flatter myself that the delay of your address is to be attributed to something better than the danger of refusal."

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

"Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings."

"It is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life."
