“There are times when happiness must be fought for, if we are to have any chance at all of achieving it.”
― Janice Hadlow, The Other Bennet Sister

“The most important habit to conquer was the habit of misery itself. Nothing was so inimical to happiness as the settled conviction it was not for her. It was a conviction that ran very deep in her; but she knew she must fight to rise above it.”
― Janice Hadlow, The Other Bennet Sister

“It is my situation I dislike, not myself.”
― Janice Hadlow, The Other Bennet Sister

“But it is often difficult for us to recognise what virtue looks like because we so readily confuse it with pleasure. Pleasure can deliver is enjoyment - the feelings we derive from good food, good conversations, the contemplation of beauty - but these things do not last. Enjoyments are transient, but true happiness endures. That is its distinguishing quality.”
