“Could there be finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen
“Nothing ever fatigues me, but doing what I do not like.”
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
“Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.”
Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

“And you know what happened next in my dream? Dick Cheney and I said the same thing at the same time: "Well, we had a Cold War to win." And then I screamed at him: "I KNEW you would say that! You ALWAYS say that!" But then, since Cheney and I made the same remark at the same time, I realized he owed me a Coke. So I said, "Jinx! You owe me a Coke!" And Vice-President Dick Cheney smiled sheepishly. *Shudder*... I don't even DRINK coke. I tastes like robot sweat.”
David Rees, Get Your War On 2

Jane Austen
“What strange creatures brothers are!”
