Mr. Darcy

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

"I respect you for your honesty in confessing your faults."

"Time will teach me to forget what it may not be proper to remember."

"Angry people are not always wise."

"I admire the elegance of your operation and the gentleness of your bearing."

"We all have a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be."

"I was taught what was proper; but I was not taught to govern my temper."

"Impudence is the quality I most object to in persons."

"The arts are the glory of every age and country."

"You wish to think too highly of me; you will soon cease to do it, if you persist in this error."

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

"I might have felt almost anything under the circumstances, but as it is, I merely feel great astonishment."

"I am as happy as I can expect to be."

"A man would always wish to give a woman the highest opinion of his love."

"Compliments cost nothing and are therefore very easily dispensed."

"I have not the pleasure of understanding you."

"Do not be alarmed. You shall have all the tardiness and all the comfort."

"Without the encouragement you give me, I am not sure how long my perseverance could last."

"I cannot perfectly understand the delight of some of your sex in engaging in such an occupation."

"It does not follow that I shall never laugh again."

"You are too generous to trifle with me."

"Your defect is a propensity to hate everybody."

"I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle."

"These offences might have been overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design."

"The wisest and the best of men—nay, the wisest and best of their actions—may be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in life is a joke."

"I could have forgiven his pride if it had not mortified mine."

"Such is the fact, and you shall accept it."

"I am not afraid of you."

"I believe you are naturally frank and honest, and have some amiable qualities; but you cannot feel what it is to have pride, or to wish for the esteem of a man whom you cannot help respecting."

"Let me be rightly understood. This match, to which you have the principal objection, I shall now mention no more."
