We must be serious and decided; for after all, the person who has contracted debts must pay them; #JaneAusten #Persuasion

But I must write no more. The children have been wanting me this half hour. #JaneAusten #PrideandPrejudice

When people are determined on a mode of conduct which they know to be wrong, they feel injured by the expectation of any thing better from them. #JaneAusten #SenseandSensibility

I feel a strong persuasion, this morning, that I shall soon be abroad. I ought to travel. I am tired of doing nothing. I want a change. #JaneAusten #Emma

Is not general incivility the very essence of love? #JaneAusten #PrideandPrejudice

I feel quite stupid. It must be sitting up so late last night. #JaneAusten #MansfieldPark

I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good. #JaneAusten#PrideandPrejudice

There are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement. #JaneAusten #PrideandPrejudice

No coffee, I thank you, for me—never take coffee.—A little tea if you please, sir, by and bye,—no hurry. #JaneAusten #Emma

The badness of the weather disconcerted an excellent plan of mine,—that of calling on Miss Beckford again; but from the middle of the day it rained incessantly. #JaneAusten #letters1811

Alas! If the heroine of one novel be not patronized by the heroine of another, from whom can she expect protection and regard? #JaneAusten #NorthangerAbbey

My mother has had a very good night, and feels much better to-day. #JaneAusten #Letters1798

I have my usual luck: I am always out of the way when any thing desirable is going on; #JaneAusten #Persuasion

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. - Pride and Prejudice, 1st published January 28th 1813 #JaneAusten #PrideandPrejudice

When an old lady plays the fool, it is not in the course of nature that she should suffer from it many years. #JaneAusten #TheWatsons

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

She certainly has a little spirit of secrecy, and independence, and nonsense, about her, which I would advise her to get the better of. #JaneAusten #MansfieldPark

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Presently he took up her scissors and cut off a long lock of her hair, for it was all tumbled down her back; and he kissed it, and folded it up in a piece of white paper; and put it into his pocket-book. #JaneAusten #SenseandSensibility

How contemptible! Of all things in the world inconstancy is my aversion. #JaneAusten #NorthangerAbbey

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Only conceive how comfortable they will be! Five hundred a year! I am sure I cannot imagine how they will spend half of it; #JaneAusten #SensesndSensibility

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

You are so much used to live alone, that you do not know the value of a companion; #JaneAusten #Emma

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Respect for right conduct is felt by every body. #JaneAusten #Emma

You have delighted us long enough. Let the other young ladies have time to exhibit. #JaneAusten #PrideandPrejudice

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Well, mother, I have done something for you that you will like. I have been to the theatre, and secured a box for to-morrow night. A’n’t I a good boy? #JaneAusten #Persuasion

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

I know so many who have married in the full expectation and confidence of some one particular advantage in the connexion, or accomplishment, or good quality in the person, who have found themselves entirely deceived, and been obliged to put up with exactly the reverse. #JaneAusten #MansfieldPark

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

When you receive this, our guests will be all gone or going; and I shall be left to the comfortable disposal of my time, to ease of mind from the torments of rice puddings and apple dumplings, and probably to regret that I did not take more pains to please them all. #JaneAusten #letters1807

Her passion for ancient edifices was next in degree to her passion for Henry Tilney #JaneAusten #NorthangerAbbey

Has your newspaper given a sad story of a Mrs. Middleton, wife of a farmer in Yorkshire, her sister, and servant, being almost frozen to death in the late weather, her little child quite so? #JaneAusten #lettersJan1809

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

It is so cold, so very cold—and looks and feels so very much like snow, that if it were to any other place or with any other party, I should really try not to go out to-day. #JaneAusten #Emma

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I am going to Gretna Green, and if you cannot guess with who, I shall think you a simpleton, for there is but one man in the world I love, and he is an angel. #JaneAusten #PrideandPrejudice

She has been indisposed all day, and we have persuaded her to go to bed. #JaneAusten #SenseandSensibility

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

I am very grand indeed; I had the dignity of dropping out my mother's laudanum last night. I carry about the keys of the wine and closet, and twice since I began this letter have had orders to give in the kitchen. #JaneAusten #Letters1798

Jane Austen @janeaustenlit.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

How tired you must be after your journey! You must go to bed early, my dear—and I recommend a little gruel to you before you go. #JaneAusten #Emma

Morning visits are never fair by women at her time of life, who make themselves up so little. #JaneAusten #Persuasion

I will not interrupt you any longer. You want to be reading. #JaneAusten #MansfieldPark
