    Jane Austen
    “And after all, Marianne, after all that is bewitching in the idea of a single and constant attachment, and all that can be said of one's happiness depending entirely on any particular person, it is not meant - it is not fit - it is not possible that it should be so.”
    ― Jane Austen

    Jane Austen
    “Marianne Dashwood was born to an extraordinary fate. She was born to discover the falsehood of her own opinions, and to counteract, by her conduct, her most favourite maxims. She was born to overcome an affection formed so late in life as at seventeen, and with no sentiment superior to strong esteem and lively friendship, voluntarily to give her hand to another! - and that other, a man who had suffered no less than herself under the event of a former attachment, - whom, two years before, she had considered too old to be married, - and who still sought the constitutional safeguard of a flannel waistcoat!”
    ― Jane Austen, Sense & Sensibility

    Zoya Pirzad
    “Si chinò sul vasetto di fiori al centro del tavolo, annusò il profumo dei narcisi.
    – Perché non sei sposato?
    Sohrab fece una smorfia.
    – Non si è presentata l’occasione.
    Lei si mise a giocare con la saliera.
    – In primo luogo ho pensato che c’erano delle cose più importanti da fare, poi che dovevo sposare una donna con cui parlare di argomenti seri. Ci ho messo del tempo a capire che non ci sono argomenti più importanti del colore delle pareti, della sistemazione dei mobili, della posizione dei quadri, della scelta di cosa mangiare a pranzo o a cena, e che bisognava poter ridere insieme di tutto questo.”
    ― Zoya Pirzad, عادت می‌کنیم
