Pride And Prejudice Quotes

“Dear Sir, I must trouble you once more for congratulations. Elizabeth will soon be the wife of Mr. Darcy. Console Lady Catherine as well as you can. But, if I were you, I would stand by the nephew. He has more to give. Yours sincerely, etc.”
― Jane Austen, Pride And Prejudice

“It taught me to hope,” said he, “as I had scarcely ever allowed myself to hope before. I knew enough of your disposition to be certain that, had you been absolutely, irrevocably decided against me, you would have acknowledged it to Lady Catherine, frankly and openly.” Elizabeth coloured and laughed as she replied, “Yes, you know enough of my frankness to believe me capable of that. After abusing you so abominably to your face, I could have no scruple in abusing you to all your relations.”
― Jane Austen, Pride And Prejudice

“Kõike kokku võttes tuli Elizabeth mõnestki varasemast korrast tuttavale järeldusele, et sündmus, mida kärsitu igatsusega oodatakse, ei pakugi viimaks kätte jõudes nii suurt rahuldust, kui sellest loodeti. Aina oli vaja mingit uut toetuspunkti, mille külge oma soove ja lootusi haakida, et uue ootuse rõõmu nautides olevikule lohutust otsida ning järgmiseks pettumuseks valmistuda.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there was good humor and kindness. Mr. Darcy said very little, and Mr. Hurst nothing at all. The former was divided between admiration of the brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone. The latter was thinking only of his breakfast.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“In her own past behaviour, there was a constant source of vexation and regret; and in the unhappy defects of her family, a subject of yet heavier chagrin. They were hopeless of remedy. Her father, contented with laughing at them, would never exert himself to restrain the wild giddiness of his youngest daughters; and her mother, with manners so far from right herself, was entirely insensible of the evil.”
― Jane Austen, Pride And Prejudice

“I certainly have not the talent which some people possess,” said Darcy, “of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done.” “My fingers,” said Elizabeth, “do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women’s do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault – because I will not take the trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman’s of superior execution.”
