Jane Fairfax Quotes

“And Mr. Knightley always wanted us to be friends!"

"Yes, and if we had been we should have changed each other's lives."

...."Now we shall never have the chance; it it too late."

And Emma said with equal sadness: "Yes, that is true. But at least we have stopped being enemies.”
― Joan Aiken, Jane Fairfax

“Oh, how I wish -- and here Jane astonished herself with the vehemence of her own feelings -- how I wish that once, just once in my life, I could see Emma Woodhouse receive a real set-down!”
